Chapter 11 - Engaging Senses

The last few chapters in the text threw me a curve ball. I was just trying to see how I was going to implement the strategies beyond the original scope of the assignment. The themes that I chose in the presentation were very artistic in nature and I can see how it could engage the senses more deeply in an art class where the student learners were being taught by an upcoming artist and had the opportunity to smell the paint, feel the textures of the ingredients as they learned how to mix them into the paint. Can your hear the bold sounds of the music in the background as the painter broadly strokes the medium? If I would have developed a big picture of the initial presentation and how it could be incorporated in a workshop that the learners had access to manipulatives and other tools would have been wonderful. In the next chapter, when we put it all together then I will rearrange to the scope and breadth of the work to make learning about copyrights memorable instead of just informational.
