Other Reminders *Pass out papers after instruction has been given*
Instructional Model: Direct Instruction
Procedure
Focus: I will gain the student's attention through showing them my art journal and discussing we will be working on this journal throughout the
year. Then, I will show them different zentangle work I have done and expain what zentangling is.
Focus/Motivation
(Open) Objective: I will have students repeat the objective after me.
Purpose: I will explain why zentangling is important and what it's purpose is.
1. I will pass out the zentangle pattern packets and have the students look at all of the different patterns. I will explain to them that they will
keep this in their art journal, but I am only going to show them how to do 4 of the patterns today.
2. I will also pass out the white construction paper and tell the students to fold the paper in 4ths
Development (Body)
3. Next, I will introduce the first pattern and show the students how to do it.
4. The students will attempt the pattern.
5. I will repeat this with all 4 patterns.
I will explain to the students that they will be using these patterns to make different art pieces throughout the year and in other lessons, they
Closure (Close) will be able to choose whatever patterns they want.
If time permits, students will practice different patterns in their art journal.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Considerations and Differentiation
UDL and To prevent emotional issues from coming about during the lesson, I will need to go deeply into why we need to zentangle and how it makes
Differentiation everyone's different from each other. There is no wrong way to do zentangling.
Modifications for
English learners will be provided with definitions throughout the lesson to help them understand the concept more deeply.

2. Zentangling pattern packet
Summary 3. Fold construction paper into 4ths
4. Show each pattern with explicit instruction
5. Students will try patterns on their own.
