Unit Plan: Together with a partner, students will create one Unit Plan that contains several lessons, spanning several
days. The instructor will design these pairings with students interests and experiences in mind. The audience for
the Unit Plan will be your future secondary school students (grades 7-12) with limited to moderate exposure to (1)
painting/drawing, (2) new media, (3) sculpture/fibers, (4) ceramics/pottery, (5) printmaking, (6) jewelry/metals, (7)
photography, and (8) collage/assemblage. The Unit will be inspired by course content regarding the secondary
school learner: pedagogical choices (Patterson, 2011, p. 6); special education (Gerber & Guay, 2007); practice and
theory (Bird, 2012); key ideas, techniques, cultural contexts, and creative inspiration (Parks, 2015, p. 4); and
assessment (Beattie, 1997).
Please submit one hard copy of the Unit Plan and appendices to me (printed, double-sided, and stapled) on the due
date. Also by the due date, the completed Unit Plan and appendices should be emailed to peers in one
document/attachment as a resource for future use: login to Blackboard/ My SacCT, click on ART 135, click on
Course Tools > Send Email > All Users.
