Constraints

Context: A shareable message for members of this classroom if they suddenly found themselves caught in a zombie apocalypse. How would they protect themselves from any infected business majors that might try to invade? ;)

  Creating with Words: Line and Caret This activity asks students to remix their thinking and challenge preconceived notions. What I love about this activity (beyond the wordplay, which is my jam) is that students are creating pathways out of negativity for themselves. They have a word with a negative connotation and through thinking about the meaning of that word, and thinking about the way they think about it - the stoppage of it - they find a way to flip and make a way forward. That’s pretty beautiful. I would use this as part of a poetry unit, but could also see it being a fun standalone activity for days between units.  Creating with Images: Haikonography This is a fun activity that plays with the haiku form to simplify even further into icon images. Students are encouraged to observe the form of the genre still, while exploring what is possible with images. I would include this with a poetry unit. I would probably employ this activity after doing an activity where I show...

 I created a short quiz using the app Formative.com, which helps teachers create digital formative assessments The quiz itself is just for fun, but the process of exploring this app and creating the quiz was very interesting. The app is mainly for use in the classroom. Teachers can create different classrooms of specific students to use with multiple different formative assessments. What I loved about the app is the possibility for facilitating real-time feedback for teachers and the flexibility of what kind of material and responses are available. I'm not as tech-savvy as I'd like to be, and I know from observation that some students will participate in a digital format that will never raise their hand to participate in a classroom discussion. The possibilities with digital communication helps bridge that gap for some students and maybe even help draw them out into real-time participation.  Formative allows teachers to create questions that can be enlivened with all sorts of ...

DMP Artist Statement

  I feel very privileged to have been part of this team and this assignment. We all shared and were so blessed to receive some very real and raw stories. There was a lot of processing throughout this process; that is to say, at times it really did feel like a group therapy experience, so we decided to just lean into that with the ending of the piece being set up in a sharing circle-esque space. It became clear early on in the idea generation stage, that we needed to find a way to honor the limbo stages of our lives: to recognize that they happen and we can learn from them even though they are difficult.  Initially I was tempted to put a more carefree spin on my stories. I've lived a bit more life than my classmates, and I try to avoid stepping over, disillusioning, or not taking them seriously. Because we are all living a lot right now, and concerns that will seem small later, don't feel that way right now. So I don't want to dwell too much on my own experience or make it s...
