Positive and Negative space Ornaments
Lesson Overview:
The lesson went very well. They were able to tape ornaments and then paint them with primary colors. After they painted them they were able to experiment with mixing colors on their plate. They talked a lot with each other and continued to find new ways to mix colors. Some students mixed all of the colors together and made a muddy mess while others very carefully experimenting with different colors and how to lighten them or change them.

Thanksgiving Persuasive Comic Strips
Thanksgiving
Persuasive Comic Strips
Lesson Outcome:
The
lesson was very successful and the students seem to really enjoy it. We first
had carpet time and talked about persuasive writing. Then we learned about roy
Liechtenstein and read some examples of persuasive comics. They did a great
job. Some students didn't want to write an outline and that ended in them not
having very persuasive comics. One student of a different culture ended up
including his own heritage and cultural food. That was very eye opening to me
and how for holidays we need to be more cultural inclusive. At the end of the
class we had an activity where they split up their comic and had a buddy put it
in the right order. Over all it was a good day.
Lesson

Objective:
Help the students understand persuasive writing and create a comic.

attempt to get the reader to agree with your point of view. You are trying to
present arguments, research, and ideas in order to sway the reader one way or
the other. There are a couple of databases that are helpful for persuasive
essays - Points of View and CQ Researcher.

Pumpkin Still Life/ Observation drawing
Pumpkin
Still Life/ Observation drawing
Lesson Overview: Over all this was very
successful. Before I came Mrs Nickerson had them draw a pumpkin with no
reference. They each drew very round orange pumpkins. This was a great
assessment to help me teach the students about observational drawing. We first
learned what contour was and observed a pumpkin together. They then helped me
draw a pumpkin on the board as we talked about different shapes incorporating
math. By the end each student had portrayed a pumpkin as they had seen it in
front of them. At the end of class Mrs Nickerson had a great idea to have the
students mix up papers and then guess what pumpkin they drew. This showed us
that they were able to find a pumpkin based on a drawing making it a successful
observational drawing.
