REFLECTION
The students worked hard for the most part. It took a lot of reminders for some students, but I was
happy with the quality of most of the work that I saw. Lots of the students seemed to enjoy the
caricature activity. When they started working on this, the class got a little bit louder, but I was
expecting this.
