This flipped lesson plan outlines how to teach 9th grade students how to create clay bowls. Students will watch a prerecorded lecture on kneading, coil-building, and slab-building clay. The lecture will be uploaded to the classroom website for students to view before class. In class, students will use these techniques to create bowls that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The teacher will ask questions to check understanding, such as about appropriate coil and slab thickness, adding design elements at the leather hard state, and how to address cracks in drying clay.

Content Standard(s) addressed by this flipped lesson:
-Art and design have a purpose and a function Prerecorded Lecture What content do students need to know before class to successfully engage in the in-class activity (this will be your prerecorded lecture)? The students will need to know how to effectively knead the clay( pressing and rolling the clay with ones hands to make sure all air bubbles are out). They will also need to know how to coil-build (roll thin, long coils and wrap them around and upward to build a rounded shape). They will also need to know slabbuilding (rolling out an evenly thick sheet of clay to cut your base from. They will also need to know the term leather hard, and how to slip and score a piece of clay (apply small criss-crossing marks and add water to help the clay stick to itself What method will you use to deliver your prerecorded lecture? In my classroom I would upload it to my classroom website (such as edmodo or blackboard) and make sure the students view it before coming in to class Evidence Outcomes: (Lesson Objectives) Every student will be able to: (Create your own lesson objectives from the standard, using student voice) I can: Create a work of art (bowl) with both asthetic qualities and functional qualities that can be used functionally as a bowl and admired as a piece of art
How will you check for understanding:
What questions will you ask students to check for understanding (following the prerecorded lecture before or at the beginning of the in-class activity)? Does the thickness of your coils and slab matter? If so what is an appropriate thickness? How will you add design elements to your bowl when your piece is at a leather hard state? What is the biggest enemy of clay and what is the most important thing to do to counter that enemy?
