Week 11 Responses

Dear Katie-

What did you learn about your students' perceptions and development based on your implementation of PMI? How did using PMI in this lesson helped reinforce the big ideas of the artist study?

An observation I wanted to share with you is that your PMI notes show that studying Van Gogh affected your students on the social-emotional level. They demonstrated deep empathy and also abstract thinking. How could you cater to this strength in your students in future lessons - highlight how the social-emotional experiences of famous artists relate to their own lives?

Do you do bell ringers? If the students liked the PMI a lot, you could have a topic posted each week for the students to reflect on. Over time the students would become more fluent in the process, and it might help this type of thinking to other areas of their lives.
