My Student Is Creating Their IP.

Okay, so if you are a teacher, and you have a student or students who are creating their IPs for your course or class or assignment, it is on you to give the guidelines early on.

“Create a world with just the props as proof of the culture of your world” is a very different assignment than, “Design one character, environment, and vehicle for your world.”

As the teacher, you have the ability to set your students up for success. As we all know, students will try everything to nail the assignment provided they are engaged and given plenty of explanations and guidance beforehand.

Obviously if you are in a one-on-one situation where you are either giving lessons or tutoring, etc., then you can tailor your assignment or class for the one student instead of a whole class.

You can make your assignments more generic or more specific, depending on their needs.

Most certainly, if you have a class of 2nd graders, this assignment will be completely different than a sophomore in high school’s assignments! And a sophomore in college, obviously will be required to draw a lot more than a second grader, for sure.

Tailor to your needs, teachers. Your students will follow suit.

My Teacher Is Creating Their IP!

Students! If your teacher is creating their IP, all you need to do is watch.

If in class, your teacher asks for you to suggest something cool to add to his IP, then raise your hand and blurt out the coolest thing you can think of for that vehicle he’s designing.

Don’t be shy. Say your mind. Be okay with if he laughs and says, “well, we’ll send the ship to space instead of underwater.”

Know that you inspire your teacher with your creativity every day, so be sharp!

Don’t think that just because you’re a student that your teacher knows everything and you know nothing.

You know stuff. Please share!

If you are in high school or college, you are not exempt, and you cannot disappear into the walls, okay? Please raise your hand and participate, as both high school teachers and college professors delight in the conversation and discussions brought about by people like you.

If watching your teacher makes you want to make your IP, and you have done all of your homework assignments and projects, and you are still really gripped with this cool thing called IP creation, see if you can ask your teacher for video recommendations they may know re: YouTube channels, etc.

You can learn super cool things from a short, but… as we know shorts are named for their literal length of time spent sharing with ya…well? They are super short, and you can’t learn anything in a super short amount of time. Very unfortunately.

It takes time to develop your IP, so take time to learn it from your teacher well now, as every teacher is different, and sometimes we miss our older teachers as we get older ourselves, and we realize what a good teach we had after all.
