Thing 4

My sixth graders probably wouldn't admit to being artists or designers. But, when I think about their personalized binders and handmade duct-tape jewelery, it is apparent that they are designers. We recently designed book brochures for our book project. There was no complaining or moaning during the assignment. The brochures were all unique and impressive products. This chapter reminded me of my students who need to sketch while I teach. I love the idea of bringing design into the public schools and public housing.
