Name Alissa King Deconstruction Lesson - 2
Reflection: (What have you learned about your students? How will this inform future instruction?)
- I have learned that students do seem to find joy in deconstruction. They were
entertained with ripping the paper and seemed to grasp more of an understanding that
deconstruction does not just have to do with big buildings and blocks, this is what I
intended for them because I wanted them to understand the meaning of deconstruction
outside of what was common. They do seem to have great knowledge of what
construction is and all had some baseline vocabulary which was impressive. Many
students related deconstruction to taking things apart or the word made them envision
construction materials. This informs my further instruction by possibly taking this lesson
even further. They seem to have more interest in the deconstruction process than I
anticipated. I assumed students would view deconstruction or destruction as knocking
things down/ destroying material but that is the opposite of what they seemed interested
in. Almost every student participated and was curious after my description of
deconstruction because deconstruction is something they have all done even if they did
not know that was what they were doing at the time. To my surprise the majority of
students who do not usually participate said that they wanted to do the activity I was
implementing which made the process much easier because I had all of the students'
attention right off the bat.
