Before you start, share this with students and parents:
Also, before you start the project use this one minute draw document as a one minute warm up and pre-assessment of creativity in thinking. The exercise is to draw a different image in each of the 2o circles and students have one minute to do the exercise. This is like Pictionary; the images are quick sketches. Upon completing all the lessons you intend on doing, hand out this doc again and have students do the exercise again as a post-assessment. They may think this is silly, but this is an exercise similar to one conducted in Stanford’s ME101 class with college students.
