My Micro teaching session planning.. 28/04/15

* I need to start of by introducing myself
* Can do soemthing screen based if I need too, eg. create a poerpoint presentation and present it on the day of the session.
* If I decide that I want to make something for my microteaching brief I need to make sure I bring everything in that I need for my fellow peers to use.
* Whilst doing my micro teaching I need to concider the people speaking, the people listening and the people doing.

Anna's Microteaching Brief.. 23/04/15

* The secret to success is to keep our own micro teaching simple and very brief.
* To not complicate anything.
* Dont take something massive that will obviously take a long time to do and try and fit it into a smaller timescale, it wont work.
* We each need to think about all aspects of everything.
(the idea behind this is if we were to have someone who was in a wheel chair or disabled of any kind, we would need to make sure we can adapt to there needs, whether that means to change something slightly about the workshop or just make it a disabled friendly workshop from the very beginning.)
* Must be very constructive

Anna's Microteaching Brief..
We had to listen, work in pairs as well as working in a big group for this activity. 
The picture below is from the micro teaching brief by Anna, this was all about Anna's job in 'Art direction' In pairs we got given four pieces of coloured card, red, green, yellow and blue, as well as a piece of fruit, the task was to place the piece of fruit onto which ever piece of card we personally think the fruit fitted best on, me and my partner deciding on a green piece of card, the reason for this was because green is an organic, healthy and natural colour, just the same as what a piece of fruit is, the apple in my opinion didn't look right on any other colour.   






The picture below is of a small micro teaching brief task, we had to do in our pairs, as a practice run of what we would be doing next week. I made a jewellary collection out of play dou, along with this came a written out lesson plan, the lesson plan times had to be very pacific as to how long it would take to show and complete this task wen doing it with your partner, a feedback form had to be filled out on both sides when doing this micro teaching brief.

Workshop.. 21/04/15

What could I add to education?
does there need to be more direction?
more independance?
what is the limit the children can deal with?

whats good about education and why?
what could be changed and why?
If I was a part of the government, what would I do and why?

In particular in Darwen in the near future there will be another two acadamys as well as DACA that is currently standing. As sad as it is Darwen is in economic depravasion, and is unfortunatly a town that is going no where, they have a very low percentage of pupils that go onto higher education, and end up just staying in the town.
Because they are a town in economic depravasion, it is more than likely that they dont have much money as a town, this will effect peoples behaviour and could really higher the chances of crime, such as theft/burglery and arson.
The accadamy has been such a positive aspect for the town as its bought in nothing but good results and outcomes, one of the best factors that I picked up on from being at the school is the idea of having the Pods that are based in the school to encourage students to set up there own business, a brilliant potential for the town and the up coming genertaions, a chance to change the town into something with a lot more success.

'Fake it till I make it..'
Stand tall like wonder women, back straight and hands on my hips, this will allow me to not only feel but act in control and feel more confident.
share the silence..
* get the children up and being pyhsical and involved in the classroom

* brilliant/insperational video clip explaining all about our body language and how it effects everything that we do..

WHY SHOULD YOU STUDY ART AND DESIGN AS ONE OF YOUR SUBJECTS?
* ITS A SUBJECT THAT NEVER ENDS
* YOU CAN CARRY IT ON INTO ANY SORT OF CAREER
* ITS A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO JUSTIFY OUR EXISTANCE ALL THE TIME..
* CREATIVE AND BEING ARTISTIC IS PROVEN TO BE AN ANTI DEPRESENT
* WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE AND ENCOURAGE THE SUBJECT
* WE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION FOR THE SUBJECT/JOBS

Jane Mcfadden
we had a talk with Jane Mcfadden the unit leader of unitX..
she told us that it was key to have the same amount of fun as the children are when we are doing our workshop.
when they are being creative its always a good idea to be able to make something pysical so that the children can take something home with them.
