5. Instructional Design-Lesson Plans

The teacher designs instruction for specific lesson objectives, student characteristics and needs,
and learning contexts.
Task
The showcase lesson is lesson plan four. In this lesson, students will create an ear of corn using
the collage technique.
The lessons were designed for kindergarten students and specifically, the kindergarten class I
meet with on Fridays because they all listen and follow instructions extremely well. Knowing how
well they are able to keep up with a lesson, I was able to do lessons that were a little advanced
for kindergarten students. I followed Ms. Alleys long term plans and used topics she already had
distinguished for kindergarten but came up with my own lessons and activities.

Lesson Objective(s)
Assessment(s) of the
Objective(s)
Students will be able to

create a new, secondary
color when given two
primary colors to mix
together. This new
color, green, will be
used to make pumpkins
to later cut out and
make a pumpkin patch
collage.
While students are

working, the instructor
will observe to ensure
that colors are being
mixed appropriately and
materials are being used
accordingly. Students will
be required to turn in
their work and notes will
be made by the
instructor about progress
and execution of the
assignment.
Students are expected to
Use of Formative
Assessment
(TWS section 7)
This assessment will
be used in the future
to determine how
much the students
can handle as far as
working
independently with
harder concepts and
tasks.
Accommodations: (should parallel information in TWS 3 and show use of TWS 1 data)
Students who may finish early will be instructed to use other materials to enhance their pumpkin
patch collage.
Students who have trouble paying attention or focusing will be placed in groups where they
wont be distracted. Students who have special needs will be placed in a location that is easy for
the instructor to get to in case they need extra assistance.
Materials:
SmartBoard
Whiteboard
4 cups of water
Red, yellow and blue food coloring
Yellow tempera paint
Red tempera paint
Blue tempera paint
One brush per student
Water cup to share per pair of students
Plate to mix colors
Ziploc baggies (one for each student)
Large sheet of white drawing paper
Half sheet of drawing paper
Scissors
glue
pencil
Procedures:
The instructor will already have images of pumpkin patches showing on the SmartBoard. The
instructor will ask students what colors are present in a pumpkin patch. (Responses should be
orange and green)

Paige Railey
Instructor will have a video on YouTube ready to show students about pumpkins and how they
grow from the ground. This video should be short but informative to keep students engaged
without losing their attention.
After reviewing what was in the video, students will be instructed to their assigned seat and
write their name on the back of the half sheet of white drawing paper provided.
Once students have written their name, the instructor will ask for a student to raise their hand
and tell what 2 colors need to be mixed to make orange for their pumpkins. Once the entire
class understands that red must be mixed with yellow to make orange, the students will be
instructed to mix their red and yellow paint to make orange. Then students will paint the half
sheet of paper orange. Once this dries, students will cut pumpkins out of the orange to later
glue to the bigger sheet of drawing paper.
Once the orange has dried, students will cut no less than 3 pumpkins from the paper but no
more than 7.
Students will be instructed to glue the orange circles onto the large white paper. There will be
an example of pumpkin patch collages on the board so students know where on the paper to
place the pumpkins.
Once all the pumpkins are glued to the paper, students will be instructed to mix blue and yellow
to make green. They will use their green paint to paint vines and leaves around the pumpkins.
Students will then be instructed to make purple (using blue and red) to make a sky with fall
colors.
Once the paint has dried and students have fully finished their work, it will sit aside to dry.
When all the paintings are dry, students will hold their work up to show their classmates.
There will be a brief discussion on how the colors were made and what processes were used to
create the entire work of art.
Activity Analysis:
1. Using colored water to demonstrate what happens when colors are mixed.
-This will provide visual learning and generate discussion among the class.
-This activity will provide a visual example for students who may learn better through
visual concepts versus
verbally explaining something.
-Prior to mixing the colors, students will be show images of orange and green things that
will lead into a
discussion about how those colors are made
2. Cutting and gluing shapes to paper
-This will provide tangible learning.
-Students will be able to physically make these shapes and add them to their artwork
giving them a sense of
possession to this work of art.
-Students will be shown how to cut and apply these shapes with a demonstration from the
instructor.
Lesson Plan 2: Pottery in Pueblos: Modeling Clay
EEDA Lesson Students use contextual awareness to explore their individual abilities with
modeling clay and explore what they are able to do.

everyone is ready to move onto the next technique.

Next, the instructor will demonstrate the best way to make a snake out of the
modeling clay. Students will be instructed to follow strict directions to ensure that they
are making the snake the correct way.
Once students are finished with the snake, they will squish it all up to make another
sphere.
Once students have proved to the teacher that they can make a sphere and a snake,
they will be allowed five minutes of free time to make whatever they want.
Students will then be instructed to put their clay up, wash their hands and line up for
dismissal.
Accommodations:
To accommodate for students who may have a harder time focusing or concentration, I will be
sure to check on them throughout the lesson. By walking by their desk and looking at their work,
I will be able to see if they are keeping up and following along. For students who may work
quicker than the rest, I will be sure to keep an eye on them and make sure they are doing their
work correctly and when they are finished, they will be given the opportunity to sit quietly and
watch a book on video.

Procedures:
Students will be instructed to come in and sit directly on the carpet. Students will be
given a brief reminder of what is expected of them when using clay. The instructor will
provide a demonstration going back over the instructions previously learned from using
the modeling clay as students are working along with the instructor.
Students will be reminded of clay precautions and then allowed to go to their seat to
start rolling the clay into spheres.
Once the clay is in spheres, students will use their elbow to press into the sphere only
once and then us their thumbs making pinching movement to make a tiny bowl.
Once students are done, they will be given another small piece of clay and instructed to
roll it into a sphere just like before.
When that sphere is done, students will be instructed to press the clay to the bottom of
their shoe to make a texture then put it on their cardboard with their tiny bowl.
Students will be instructed to wait patiently while the instructor puts their names on the
bowls and pendants. As the bowl and pendant is taken from the student, students will
be instructed to go wash their hands and have a seat on the carpet to watch a book on
video while all the bowls are labeled.
Once bowels are labeled, the instructor goes over what was learned and how the bowls
turned out, relating it all to the prior knowledge from the lesson using modeling clay.
