Students’ reflection journal is a visual+written record of their experience in this class.
In addition to showing evidence of their material explorations, the journal should be a record of their engagements and reflections with the ideas presented through the content of this class. Students may use a combination of writing and drawing to make notes and respond to questions and prompts. At times, they will be directly prompted to respond to a question(s) in a creative visual manner. The intention for a visual reflection journal is to nurture students’ creative sensibilities and push them to explore multimodal processes in their journey to becoming educators. Please keep in mind this is not about being a “good artist” but rather creating a space to explore possibilities of engagement with ideas, approaches, and theories. They may use the materials explored in class, as well as other media, if they are inclined.
