Midterm Format

Write a detailed narrative of a lesson that incorporates new media in making art. That means be specific so the reader can envision the lesson in action. Write this as a Word document then cut and paste into your blog so you do not loose it.

Address the following in your narrative:

· What is the big idea (e.g. concept) the lesson addresses?
· How is the big idea phrased in an open-ended question? (e.g. What is the Throughline?)
· Who is the audience for this lesson? Age? Setting? Timeframe? Gender? Special needs? Museum? Community center? Jail?
· What is the goal for the students? What do you want them to understand or be able to do by the end of the lesson?
· Describe what you, as the teacher, would do during the lesson.
· Describe what the students would do during the lesson.
· How will you know if the students understand the lesson? What will you observe, look at, hear, collect, etc.?
· Why is this lesson necessary? This is the 'So what?' factor.
· What makes it engaging? How and why will students be motivated to participate?
