Beyond the Blackboard questions
During this course, my classmate and I watched the film "Beyond the Blackboard" and through this assignment, I was able to answer some reflective questions related to the movie.
Reflection:
During my time in this course, I learned how to make music, art, and theater fun and meaningful for students. This course showed me how creative expression can be a powerful tool in the classroom. I discovered ways to encourage students through hands-on activities, playful performances, and imaginative projects that make learning enjoyable and accessible.
