previous lesson. Students will copy down key terms that are

chart. Students will discuss with large group any similarities
and differences between classmates. Class will then assess do
they have similar things in common? Is this a good or bad
thing? Why?

pencil with assistance from peer or teacher (My hair is red. My
eyes are green. )

product of the self portrait and written piece to students.
Then, through guided art, teacher will ask students to identify
where the face is, parts of the face, where they are in
proportion to other areas, and different facial features.

can put on their faces. Then, students will identify other things
they will include in their picture such as hobbies, foods, and
family. Students will work independently at desks, then share
art with their peers. Students will be asked to read their short
paragraph and describe their picture to their peers. Students
