week 1&2 reflection

After some technical difficulties, we started our meeting with the students discussing Much Ado and how we changed it to be more modern. Only two boys were in class that day. By the end of the meeting we were going over lines from scene 2 with the help of the teachers. Both boys were shy and nervous to read and their reading skills were not as good as we expected. However, both of the boys are very interested in art and want to draw pictures for the scenes.

The second week more students were there but there was only one teacher. It was hard to keep the kids on track and listen to our directions and none of them had an interest in reading. We learned the next time we meet with him we need to have more of a plan. We plan to give them a summary of the scene and either we read the lines to the kids or they can volunteer. After reading and discussing the scene, they will come up with ideas of how to illustrate and draw pictures to represent that scene.
