Background Knowledge (~3 complete sentences): How will you tap into students’ experiences
and prior knowledge and learning?
Prior to this lesson students should have an understanding of the word movement and
describe it in at least one way. Students should be able to identify specific movements within
the history of the United States. The students should be able to recall these movements from
their previous education and use them within their artwork.

About 18 min: Focus Lesson (teacher does): Detail opening activities by exploring the
following questions. How will you motivate the students to want to learn the new
concepts (see Key Concepts) and strategies/skills (see Lesson Objectives)? How will
you introduce the Big Idea of the lesson? How will you link this lesson to the students’
prior knowledge?
We will motivate our students by connecting our lesson to real-life situations and giving them
each a chance to talk. We will introduce our big idea of movement through pictures with VTS
and videos. We will link this lesson to the students’ prior knowledge by building on the
common core standards from fifth grade.
10 min Maddy: Introduce lesson with hook and grade level then instruct open discussion on
assigned reading for students to do within their groups then present their findings to the class.
5 min Meghan: Present big idea, 21st century art ed. Approaches, vocab and the three types
of movement to the class.
3 min Jordan: Present lesson overview and key concepts to class.
About 9 min: Guided Instruction (teacher and students do together): Detail main
activities by exploring the following questions. What Essential Questions will you ask
students to facilitate learning? How will you organize students? What will you do/say
during each learning activity? What will the students do (see Lesson Objectives)?
The essential questions are “How does movement connect with artists emotions?”, “What can
movement express?”, and “How can movement be visual?”. Students will be within their
lesson plan groups of about 4 students. During the discussion we will have our students
review the assigned reading. During both VTS and the studio we will have our students look at
the three types of movement discussed thus far and reinforce their understanding of them.
TSW be able to distinguish between the 3 types of movements, give examples, and use one
type of movement in their art.
2 min Jordan: Discuss what students will do with VTS and the multiple images.
5 min All 3: Come back together as a class and discuss students findings within each image.
About 5 mins: Modeling (teacher does): Name and demonstrate the content area
strategies/skills (see Lesson Objectives) that are the focus of the lesson. Explain and
show their purpose. Use analogies or other concrete examples to explain concepts
(see Key Concepts).
*All 3 teachers will display their teacher samples with additional materials to make the art 3-D.
5-10 min Group: Do demonstration of altering an image with painting on transparency sheet
over original image. Meghan will show her demo of altering a social justice movement and
present a half-way done one. Jordan will show his demo displaying visual art movement and
Maddy will display her demo on physical movement.
Independent Learning (students do alone): What activity will the students complete
independently to apply their newly formed understanding to novel situations? What will
the students explore independently?
Prior to class the students will independently read the assigned reading and bring a
completed memo to class the day of. The students will also look up an image about what they
believe movement is and bring that to class which will allow them to explore their idea of
movement on their own prior to class.
Closure: How will you end the lesson to solidify learning? How will you and/or students
summarize concepts and strategies/skills (see Key Concepts and Lesson Objectives)
for the day?
Throughout the lesson we as teachers will monitor the students to make sure they have a
concrete understanding of all aspects taught throughout the lesson. The students will
summarize their findings within groups from the reading as well as within the provided VTS for
the big idea of movement. They will also demonstrate the big idea of movement and their art
skills within the given studio.
Please respond to the following questions thoroughly and in complete sentences.
1. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for students with disabilities?
Depending on the severity of the students’ disability, when doing our activity where the
students’ will need to go outside and pick an item to use within their art another student can
pick something for them or we can have items within the classroom already picked out. If the
student has a learning disability to where they might not understand other aspects of the
lesson that’s within the classroom, us as teachers will explain each part of the lesson more in-
depth and even give the student an enlarged copy of the power point we are using.
2. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for English language learners?
To allow the English language learner to fully understand all aspects of our lesson plan we will
explain each step in-depth, similar to what we would do for a student with a disability. We also
will ask for clarification to make sure that we don’t need to repeat any aspect of the lesson so
that each student has the same understand.
3. How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?
This lesson will encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways by taking a different
approach/look on everyday situations. Since we are taking any item from outside that the
students’ find and using it within their art to create a masterpiece, the students’ will be able to
see that everyday items can be used within different ways that they might not have first
thought of. This can translate into different aspects of the students’ like to help them solve
problems in new ways.
5. How will you (a) address potential safety issues and (b) assure necessary precautions
are followed? See OEHHA, link HERE
To address potential safety issues, I will make sure that the students stay within a specific
area when going outside by given them a perimeter that they must stay in. I also will make
sure that the students don’t run and walk when going outside and if they don’t follow these
aspects they won’t be able to partake within the activity. To make sure that precautions are
being taken we as teachers will make sure that when the students are using the hot glue gun
they will know that parts of it are hot and the glue gun will be near the teachers in the front of
the classroom.
