the pictures.
6. Activity 5 (1 class period): Have an aesthetic retreat in
class.
a. Put stars on all the students desks. Have
students go around room and write a quality
they find beautiful about that individual on their
star. Hang them from the ceiling to create a
gorgeous galaxy.
7. Activity 6 (1 class period): Have an in class aesthetic
museum to which peers and parents are invited.
a. Showcase all of the creations the class has
made such as the poems and writings, the
collages, the stars, the lists, and the iMovie.
Students can pick how much or how little they
want to showcase.
Closure (Reflecting Anticipatory Set):
As a closure to the lesson plan, students will conduct a
beauty museum for parents and peers. Within the
beauty museum, students will be able to display
materials they have created as they explored the
concept of aesthetic inventory, including their collages,
their writing pieces, their ecosystems, their gorgeous
galaxy and their iMovie.
How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning/learning processes?
Through constantly revisiting their aesthetic inventory list and collage, students continuously reflect upon their learning
and growth that is taking place. Also, by having to choose what items to display in the aesthetic museum, students
must reflect upon the creations they have made and what they believe worthy for display.
How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson to differently-abled students?
For students who struggle to put their thoughts into words, I would give the option of drawing a list of what they find to
be beautiful rather than writing. These students will also have multiple pathways when creating their writing pieces, and
I will make sure the pathway they choose is one that pushes them but also drives them to success. Additionally, when
group discussion and collaboration does occur, I will make sure this student is accompanied by students that can assist
them in a positive way.
What opportunities/activities will students be given to revise and improve their understandings and their work?
Students will have the opportunity to revise and improve their writing pieces when peer reviews and revisions take
place. They will be able to continuously revise and improve their collage and aesthetic inventory list as the unit plan
continues onward. Also, prior to the aesthetic museum that we create, students will have the option of making finishing
touches to all of the work they have created and have the option to present.
What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning/understanding/work in this Activity?
Students have the opportunity to share their learning, understanding and work through the aesthetic museum that we
create as a class.
