Group Lesson Plan
Recycled Sculptures
My Teacher Example: Super Bunny
I actually did this in about an hour or so, but when I first envision it, I wanted to make a robot similar to the one that I made in high school. Unfortunately, I was low on recyclable supplies and use the things that I had now which were solution bottles for eye lens, old newspaper, a painted illustration board and scraps of paper. I used cheap artist tape too and build my awesome looking bunny. I gave it a cape because I had spare newspaper (which was the only thing that I had an abundance on).
Fun Fact: I was involved in my school's environmental club and recycling students' waste for about 3 years, and became its publicist for 2016. So that's why I had so much newspaper. I even have an issue from October 2014.
I do collect stuff from that club, hoping that I would someday use it for something useful like this lovely project.

Reflection
This was a fun experience with my group. It's kinda difficult because I have to work with others, but outside of college, I know that I have to work with people. The assignments had 8 roles for 3-4 members, I happened to be in charge of making the Presentation, the Step-By-Step Instructions and the Brainstorm Worksheet. Making documents isn't that bad since I enjoyed making them and got use to them in high school, but seeing other groups' presentation I felt a little bad because their were top tier and prompted me to do better. Speaking of which maybe I should talk about my experience with this project.
I believed that we have two week to work on it and the first week was really making the powerpoint. Me and Evelyn were frantically trying to put on stuff to the slides since we thought that the presentation was tomorrow. I also made a not-so-good version of the Brainstorm Worksheet during that week, and by the way, I created 3 versions of it. Also, Fabian didn't do anything for that week and we were a little worry because he didn't give us our phone number. (Well we forgot that we had each other's email so that was a disappointment.) After that, we were given more time to work on the presentation and for the second week, I worked, reworked and edit the two worksheets that I have to do and the lesson plan. Everyone else were doing their part which is great. I gave Fabian my feedback on the rubric since there was initially a category that kind of repeats the same thing as the other categories. So there's is that.
For making the worksheets. I initially did it in Word, but that's looks super plain and dull. So, I used Photoshop and use my illustrating skills to create a fun and unique worksheets for the lesson plan. I also get to use my Wacom Cintiq so I'm satisfied.
For the actually presentation, well, to be honest we winged it. No valid excused for it, but in my opinion, we could had done better like give each other parts a head of time instead on the day of. This is one of my rare occasions that I would actually winged it instead of preparing ahead of time and yes, for future reference, just practice. I could also blame daylight savings, but it's not a valid excuse. So that conclude this reflection. Boring way to end it, right?
(For the part on making the teacher example, it's under my "Super Bunny" picture above.)
