-
Start taking slides now
(early) if you have not already done so....remember they do
not always work out the first time. Slide quality is
important.
-
To get maximum color do not
do in direct sunlight, cast a shadow. Black felt is
great on a brick wall (does not reflect light)
-
Label slides as soon as
they come back in. Follow the directions on the poster
or on line. Small sticker labels are great!
-
Have them begin working on
the 2 questions. Have each student partner up and read
the others....this way they can get some feedback on how clear
they have made their intent. Remember students should
state their concentration concept in the first
sentence......My concentration is ___.
-
If you have not taken
slides, take digital pictures and look at the contrast on the
camera...this is a great way to see if the image will read
clearly and is a lot less expensive than creating multiple
rolls of slides. Popping color and contrast always looks great
on the slide. No matter how beautiful a line drawing is,
sometimes it can't be seen well.
-
Begin matting and or
mounting quality work. Double check sizes. Use
fixative so that works are not damaged.
-
If your exams have arrived.
Double check the numbers. Make sure there is one for
each student that is taking.
-
Lastly, remember to
thank the students for their hard work...tell them how proud
you are of them. Each one is a blessing, even through
the ups and the downs....they have all filled a place in your
life!
Note: Right now there isn't a Part II .... she just wanted to
leave it open for more words of wisdom.
