Reflection+7

In these last five chapters, there are many topics that we touch on through out our teaching. Observation Drawing with Children allows for we as teachers to reflect on what has happened in classes, or what teachers are expected to do in classes. When we teach drawing, we are teaching a framework, a framework, of technique, skill, concept, and ways of motivation, these are just the basics. However, as we pursue the teaching throughout the rest of our professional career, we must be able to tweak our ideas, and the way we teach skills based on grade level and class interest. There are certain objectives and phrases that students must go through in order to learn their specific cognitive abilities, the skills we teach through observation allow our students to look, express, compose, and learn to compose (Smith 19). With these we allow our students to aesthetically learn, asking questions to advance their knowledge, and open their minds to new ideas.
 * Summary**

When we talk in class, we talk about the ideas in our readings, the ideas that we can instill in our classes as we start our teaching careers, and our goals we plan to pursue. Now that we have continued this, we have come to the stage where we are teaching these ideas and using what we have learned to expand the minds of children. As we focused on our first lesson this past week, we are able to notice and understand that questions that are asked are used to act as an aesthetic questions, a question to get us moving, a way in which we allow ourselves to look ask skills with concepts, a framework. The framework in other words is our lesson plans, our ways in which we are allowing our students to engage themselves into a learning environment and grow as individuals.
 * Class**

After reading these last few chapters, I have come to realize that what I have been taught in my past years as a student haven’t always been the ways in which we should be learning these subjects as well as techniques. If I were to take a “gifted” student and put them in the back of the room by him/herself as and independent study, he/she is learning nothing. However by allowing that student to participate, I’m allowing his ability to influence others as well as facilitate. I’m allowing him to challenge him/herself to do better, not just depend on what he/she already knows to succeed. I will push the boundaries of my frame work as push his/her skill, concepts, and composition to make him/her feel as much of a part of the class as those who I’m pushing their skills with the simpler tasks. It is the idea of allowing for their minds to flourish and engage in educational activities.
