I have just completed the first two week session of summer school- my first time teaching it. Overall there was little guidance or curriculum for my class so initially I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go. I ended up laying my class out like this.
For the first week I taught the three main handbuilding methods- one project at a time. The first lesson was a pinch pot project with an animal theme. I started with this first knowing that the clay would be the thickest and take the longest to air dry. These projects took 1-2 class periods.
I taught 24 students per section for three sections 2nd grade through 5th grade- so the results were all very diverse. I really think we had some excellent results!
