  Our Group's Inclusive Pet Club Poster: We made this as a welcome sign to include all animals for the Pet Club in Monday's Read Aloud as part of the "Person In A Mess" technique. Reflection Questions: What concepts did you newly learn this week? I learned about all the different creative drama techniques I can use in the classroom. I was very unfamiliar with all these words and concepts, so throughout this week I now have a better concept on how I can do these techniques in my future classroom. My favorite ones were "Hot Seating" & "Person In A Mess" These were my favorite techniques because they allow the students to be creative to get in the mindset of the characters or the problem in the story and what they think the characters would do or how they would act.

My painting is a parody of the famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh titled “ Sunflowers. ” My take on the parody has its similarities and differences from the original.

I also used a green & blue color scheme in my parody, rather than the oranges & yellows used by Van Gogh. Sunflowers By Vincent Van Gogh: This is the famous artwork that inspired my parody painting
