Zumix Day 5

It was a lovely day of bookmaking today. Bob came with me and he worked with the kids to lay out plans for their cd books. They did the cutting, gluing, and folding...very cool.
We then rounded them all up and worked in mini-performances using the Image stuff we did from yesterday. They worked with a narrative written by a member of the group and then built performances around it.
The performances worked fairly well but their energy was a bit scattered and it was tough to pull them away from their individual book projects (things to remember for next time!)
Overall these kids are wonderful, the only challenge is a highly fluxuating number of students. There are a core of 6 students and then we range everday between these six and about 13, not bad when this is the problem I'd say.
Thanks,
Emily
