This unit caters to the 21st century learner. Each day the
students engage in hands-on activities followed by discussions. The
unit starts off by students drawing a line and then expanding on
what that means. They will learn how to express meaning through line
requiring critical thinking and analysis. They are also required to
provide written analysis of sketchbook assignments and participate in
table critiques building their oral and written communication skills. The
unit is very exploratory and project based throughout. I am taking
more of a facilitation role, putting students in charge of their own
learning. Students are also partners in their own marking and meet
with the teacher at the end of each month to self-assess, giving them
more responsibility in regards to their own learning. They are being put
in charge, building their entrepreneurial spirit.
I feel this lesson takes many things into consideration in an
attempt to expect the unexpected. I was not able to meet my class or
my TA prior to planning so I have attempted to cover all of my bases.
This unit will engage students and get them excited about art so they
can begin to gain an understanding as well as appreciation. Social
context has taught me a lot and I hope that I can continue to learn and
further my considerations to cover more students than I have in this
unit.
