Anticipatory Set: Introduce some master works of collage in class. Then show a
little video (Youtube) to spark the kids interest.
Instructional Process: After completion of the anticipatory set students will break
up into tables where they will start cutting and finding images they will use to create
their collage.
Once the work is finished they will hand in their finished product where it is to be
hung and admired in the classroom.
I.E, this project is to be done over a period of 2-3 days.

Independent Practice: Over the weekend have them complete a collage portrait of
something or someone they commonly see at their house. Work will be shared
during circle time the following regular school day.
