Hi Georgina

Thanks for sharing! Love your lesson plan sequence and your inclusion of a variety of developmental learning strategies that are very suited to your year group.  The lessons flow well and the objectives are clearly defined and executed- love the concept of ephemeral art too, very unique! My only feedback would be that it would have been helpful to have included a rubric for the concertina book to link further to the standard of establishing challenging learning goals. Having this would have been insightful to see how students would have been assessed.

Cheers!

Hi Georgina,

Your lesson plan sequence of Visual Arts learning activities is very effective in terms of your teaching strategies employed all through your activities.  You have set objectives that are challenging for children at the same time ensuring there is enough scaffolding for them to feel secure around taking a risk and exploring the learning environment, both indoor and outdoor.

I loved the idea of pinning unit objectives on the display wall. I may take this as an inspiration for my practical experiences when I go for placements. I think lesson 3 may be a bit too complicated for year two students age category, but the instructions were adequate and precise. You have included a ‘demonstration’ of worked examples and exhibition in learning 1 and 4, which is a great teaching approach and my personal favourite.

The only addition/ improvement I can suggest perhaps will be to consider varying abilities and characteristics of students, as this standard 3.3 specifically talks about considering ‘varying abilities and differentiation’ to the content/ process ensuring differentiation techniques for students at different learning starting points. So that all students can comprehend and work with ease in this type of topic.  I see that in the developmental stage of learning activity 1 you mentioned GW (groups work based on abilities) so that cover this bit briefly, would have liked to see this component covered in all activities :)

Thanks for sharing,
