|Activity One: | |

| |Activity one will prepare students for |

|Students will have water color, small cup of water, and a brush to paint. | |

|The students will begin to dip the painting brush into the water cup and then into the paint. | |

|The students will paint their rainforest’s background by making long horizontal brush strokes with the green and blue |I selected these activities because they will|

|lived in the rainforest; and if they have time practice drawing their animal of choice on scratch paper. | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

|Step 3: The class will discuss some of the animals, trees, and plants that can be found in the rainforest. The students | |

|will be encouraged to use descriptive words to describe these items. | |

| | |

| | |

|Activity Two: | |

|When the teacher feels that the majority of the students have a good understanding of rainforests, the discussion will | |

|shift and the teacher will introduce two artistic techniques. Then the students will continue to work on their artwork. |How will they help students accomplish the |

| |lesson goal and standard? |

|Step 1: The teacher with check for knowledge by asking, “does anyone know what depth is? Depth is the word that describes| |

|how objects look when they are a space behind other objects. Artistic use depth in their artwork to make their work |The students will accomplish the lesson goal |

|appear more real. In our rainforest projects, we will also be showing depth. By drawing the trees of a rainforest in |and the standards by being able to paint |

|artistic”. The teacher will demonstrate how to show depth. |and by illustrating depth and overlapping |

| |objects in their art project. |

| | |

| | |

|Step 2: Next the teacher will say, “What does it mean to overlap? To overlap is to put one object over another. Did | |

|another notice that many things in the rainforest overlap? What are some of the things that overlap in rainforest? Some | |

|of the things that overlap are branches, leaves, and sometimes even the animals overlap some of the trees”. The teacher | |

|will demonstrate how to overlap the branches and animals in front of trees. | |

| | |

| | |

|Step 3: Students will begin working individually on their art project. | |

|Students will gather the required materials. | |

|Using a pencil, the students will begin by drawing the trees with the directions given by their teacher on the paper that| |

|has the rainforest background on it. | |

|After drawing the trees, the students will draw with a pencil tree branches that overlap each other. Students may opt to | |

|draw an animal that overlaps the trees that they have drawn. | |

|Next the students will draw a variety of patterns on the trees. | |

|The students will use markers to outline and color their art project. | |

|Students finish and place art project in a safe place and they put away their materials. | |

|Student Work: Make the assignment/activity (use as a model). |Explain how you will use this work sample. |

|They will practice their vocabulary words by completing a handout. | |

|Students will draw a picture of two objects that are overlapping. |As a home assignment, the students will |

| |complete a vocabulary word handout and will |

| |draw a picture of two things that overlap. |

| |The students will be encouraged to possibly |

| |use their favorite objects to motivate the |

| |students about this artistic technique. |

|Student Grouping |Rationale: Why did you select this type of |

|How will students be grouped during this lesson? Keep in mind that the groupings may change during the lesson (ex. begin |grouping (ex. whole group, small groups, |

|with whole group and then divide into small groups). |boys, girls, ELA/ELD)? |

| |clarification if it is needed. |

|Progress Monitoring of Student Learning: |How will you monitor how the students are |

| |doing with learning this lesson? |

|The teacher will check for understanding by asking the students questions. In addition, the teacher will walk around the | |

|classroom to monitor the progress of the students. The teacher will be able to informally assess the each student’s |I will monitor the students by asking |

|understanding of the lesson on rainforest, watercolor, depth, and overlapping by checking the work done by the students. |questions during the art lesson. I will ask |

| |students to repeat instructions and the new |

| |vocabulary. I will also check to see if the |

| |students understood how to illustrate depth |

| |and overlapping by walking by the students to|

| |watch their progress. |

| |the activities. |

|Adaptations: Teacher will introduce vocabulary words to the students and if possible will have concrete objects that will help the students understanding the meaning |

|of the vocabulary words. In regards to directions, the teacher will provide them in writing on the board and orally. The teacher will make hand gestures when possible |

|to explain the directions. |

|Special Needs Learner: |Rationale: |

| | |

|Student with Behavior Issues: |Rationale: |

| | |

|Students with behavior issues are often quickly distracted which result in classroom disruptions. To avoid behavior |Pairing the student that often experience |

| |project without exhibiting behavior issues. |

| | |

|Reflection: |

| |

|From planning this direction instruction plan, I learned that a teacher can make small adaptions to ensure that all the students in the class are successful. A |

|diversity set of students will encourage the teacher to be creative and think out the box to help the all the students. Several of the areas of this instructional plan|

|were easy to complete. After having a solid idea of the activities the students will have in this lesson, the following sections were easier to complete: materials, |

|assessment, student grouping, progress monitoring, and difficulties. One of the areas that I would need more knowledge in is in the watercolor techniques. I think it |

|would benefit the students to know exactly what kind of technique they are using to water paint. Knowing the name of this technique could inspire students to |

|investigate further watercolor techniques. |
