Teacher Reflection
“Creating a tableau is a great way for students to retain
information and apply it in an artistic fashion. I was amazed at
how well they worked well in the collaboration process from start
to finish. Watching them build a body picture from a small group
to incorporating it into a whole class was a powerful moment.
They learned patience as a result of waiting to speak their part
and had to utilize listening skills to hear their cues. I was very
proud of the hard work, compassion, and cooperation they
displayed in their groups.”
