Scsu Coeld Edtpa Lesson Plan Template
How does this lesson connect with and build on previous lessons and how will it connect to
subsequent lesson(s)? (What came before and what will come next?)
This lesson connects to previous lessons as students were just working on artwork and making
pieces that reflect who they are as a person. This will help them transition into learning about
culture, since we were just studding sense of self portrayed in art. Now, we are broadening the
scope to include what made them who they are, by focusing on family, culture, traditions, and
beliefs. They have been working on art pieces that are all focusing on different mediums and
techniques with each project. This project focuses on drawing and is very self-driven with lots of
freedom and choice. This project is serving as an opener to the unit on culture in artwork that they
will just be starting. It will help them get an introduction to drawing and help them start to consider
culture and tradition while working with and creating art. They have been working on reflecting on
and responding to artwork all year. This will continue this practice by asking students to justify and
describe what went into their artwork. This will also help them later in the unit to refer back to when
asked to create more pieces about family, culture, and traditions.
