I must say this was the best way to get my students to learn how to compose a strong thesis statement for their opening paragraphs. The students had to compose 140 characters only (with an exception if students used both To Kill a Mockingbird and Requiem for the American Dream in the same statement). This included taking out filler words/writing. I got better written papers turned in. Of course, you would have to have certain teaching methods and techniques to go on with this lesson, but this was definitely my favorite writing exercises. (Click on the images to make them bigger).

Teaching Graphic Design was definitely one of the highlights of my year thus far. The teacher (Mrs. Childress) and I had some very great conversations, which we had conversed about different things and we were learning from each other. One student, to the right of the girl working on Marilyn Monroe, he was working on a logo for a teacher at Bryant High School. He did not know much about how the printing process worked. He had asked me about colours and I had told him the print shops do not normally charge much for anything that is black and white, but they do charge for colour, which is very expensive. I know this as a Graphic (Independent Artist) and being a Mid-level Graphic Designer at an in-house business at PBW/MWW where I do the print jobs for clients working alongside another Graphic Designer. We talked about colours: how they work, function, meant, etc. He was able to go from five colours down to two colours only (not including black and white).

I was able to help, teach, and assist other students as well. Wonderful experience and I look forward to observing and teaching more classes.
