Independent:
Students are given a selection of mediums e.g. crayon. Pastel, pencils and a
piece of art paper. Students fold art paper in quarters and begin representing
each of the seasons in each quarter. Students then choose their favourite
quarter of their artwork as inspiration for their writing. In writers notebook
students personify the season they have chosen e.g. I am summer, I am the
sun gazing down on the people below, I am the ocean slapping children on
the back and throwing them onto the shore, I am ice cream cheekily running
away from the children trying to munch me up! I am summer. Students then
create a Haiku from the personification exercise, publish onto brennex circles
and attach to the corner of the seasons artwork for display.
