LEARNING STRATEGIES
DAY 1 Monday 90min
WARM UP Write and share. Have students write down then talk with their table mates about
their favorite childhood memory and/or favorite stuffed animal/toy.
10 min
INTRODUCTION/ Introduce the project using the prepared PowerPoint. Talk about the requirements
MOTIVATION/ and provide example work.
Prior Knowledge

20min
WHOLE CLASS Task the students to brainstorm two ideas for the sculpture using the ideas they
ACTIVITY wrote down earlier. If they dislike those two ideas, have them come up with more.

Make sketches of the final sculpture in their sketchbook/on paper (minimum One
per idea). Include a list of any and all materials they think they will need for each
60min sculpture.

(10min cleanup) Once you have 2 fully planned out ideas, write your name on the board. The
teacher will then call on students whose name is on the board to have a 1 on 1
conference with. After the conference, students will either be sent back to their
seats to continue brainstorming or are allowed to start experimenting with the
materials.

All students’ ideas should be approved by the end of class.

At the end of class if students have work they want to keep for next class, give
them time to store it in a specified safe location.
