2:41 pm on the 14th of September, 2006That was a hard day, I’ve felt as though each period should be the last in the day. Enjoyable though.
First up S3 graphics, most as I say are still mid-click but a couple have got it and can do most problems. One in particular is just eating everything I can throw at him.
Next S2, working on a folio doing some ideas for a toy, they’d been doing cover material the last couple of days so this is really the first time I’d been in with them.
After break it was another S2 class, doing some marking out on a coat hook. I didn’t do much with them, but will be doing a theory lesson on metal next Tuesday, this is the class I introduced wood types to on Thuesday this week.
Then S5, an easy enogh class, they tend to just get on with things with the exception of a couple. I’ll be taking them through the mirror stand project soon.
After lunch it was S4 working on folios, this class are much further ahead but they still should be doing more, I thought this was the last period of the day and was pretty tired when I realised it wasn’t.
Last up it was the S1 class doing graphics, some are fine but they really allneed to be reminded to take care with measurements, a step y step guide to the drawings would probably be beneficial for them too. This work is, I feel, a little too much for them. Constantly I’m finding people who have just guessed where to put lines and haven’t thought to measure - it’s not lazyness they just don’t realise that they can’t draw free hand.
