Demonstrating well done projects has a list of pros and cons in my mind. A student who hears a completed project can respond in one of two ways, either they understand it as something they are capable of doing also, or it becomes something that they feel is too complex to mimic. It is healthy for students to be exposed to creative ideas that they can work off of and create from or with. I believe that a student should be exposed to many different types of creative medias to ensure that all potential is exposed.

So the challenge for us as teachers becomes to share exemplary projects that don’t discourage the easily down trodden, while also sparking the more confident students to achieve their maximum. And if the medium is not clearly defined, many students may try to emulate the example rather than create something of their own. A delicate balancing act to be sure.
