“i thought if I could get the students to really think about the assignment, they would start to make some connections about what we learn across the module... [an extra] way of going through an assignment…  not just ‘that’s what you are expected to do"... it’s a really important moment when students make it their own assignment… and using pictures to make things just every day where people feel they can be comfortable with the idea.”
