| Giving myself a break til Monday.. I think it's coming along! :) |
I have been working ever-so-diligently on painting and lesson planning and lesson designs and presentations and EVERY LITTLE THING.. This break has been very productive.
My Students with Special Needs course required that I develop a Tic-Tac-Toe lesson plan in my content area. IT WAS SO COOL. Choice can bring such a different dynamic to the classroom environment and communicates to students that they have control over their learning. This is my first Tic-Tac-Toe assignment, so be gentle.
This was a really fun project to
put together for my art lessons. I had to think harder about what the students
were actually creating and accomplishing by learning or doing each project.
Looking at the board now that I have completed it I realized that almost every
project has application as a main component. Art Education as a practice is
based on application of both prior and new knowledge. Giving students the
option to choose between different assignments puts the learning in their
hands. They can take control of their learning processes and goals. I wanted to
be sure each higher order thinking skill was addressed at least once.
Synthesis, Knowledge/Comprehension, Evaluation and Analysis were not used as
often as Application. By nature, art calls for creative thinking, making,
doing, and knowledge. It is my responsibility as an art teacher to be prepared
to provide different assignments than what is planned. I naturally think on my
feet; so do students. Sometimes they just want to approach an assignment
differently than what is planned. I will be utilizing this in my lesson
planning in the future!
