JSP Week 5 Reflection

This week was a definite improvement from the past few weeks. The kids were still very disinterested in drawing – the scenes from last week still weren’t finished and we were having a hard time getting them to focus. One really nice part of last week was that there was a new teacher supervising for that period, and she was so helpful facilitating the conversation and making sure the kids were somewhat engaged. She made sure to ask us what we were doing to make sure she understood what the students were supposed to be doing, and worked mainly with the two students who haven’t really contributed as much. It was so nice to have her there purely because I’ve mentioned in my posts over the past few weeks that the disconnect between working with the students in-person versus online makes it really difficult to be productive. By the end of the session, the students finished scene 2 and are working on scene 3. Having someone on their end actively helping us get stuff done was awesome, and made me much more optimistic about the final product!
