FRJ- Q3,Q4, Q7

Q3. Identity vs. Role Confusion is the stage in Erikson's theory is where most HS students find themselves. I have seen art classes allow students to find and express their identity. I heard an art teacher tell her student that he could not yet be an artist but that I was because I have a Master's degree. This troubled me because I didn't like the idea of dictating how students define themselves and having such strict classifications of artists or non-artists.

Q4. Level II/Stage 3, Interpersonal Conformity:
The students seem to be motivated by conforming to social pressures and value how others might react to them. As students break and follow rules or procedures I can help them see that their interactions benefit or harm others' learning.

Q7. The teacher cares for students individually but also has an active classroom where students can interact. She could probably guide them more through constructive interactions. To gain more emotional intelligence they need to examine their interactions with others.
