Emotional Face Collage, demo collaging

Today I demonstrated what the 2nd graders were to do next with their project. I went over the book "The Way I Feel" and had the students look at the hair in the layouts. They hair can emphasize the emotion that is being displayed, and each has a different treatment. Some hair is sticking up, while other hair is limp and depressed. As part of my demonstration, I reminded them of the warm/cool paper they made a couple weeks ago. They will be using that to collage the shoulders, neck, ears and hair onto a paper with the face. I then showed them a completed version and a version that had not been glued yet. Today my expectations were that the students would cut out most/all of their collage pieces. I would not provide them glue, though I did go around to see if students were ready to glue the neck the the shoulders, or the ear pieces together. I was aiming to monitor the students' collages by making sure they had an interesting design before they glued. By doing this I was able to insure the students were doing planning and making design decisions.
