Sketchbook/Artists Journal Motivation:

Since students dont have sketchbooks, they will create their

sketch on a loose-leaf piece of blank drawing paper. Their
motivation is draw a zodiac animal that includes movement and
texture.

Closure:
Students will take a short matching quiz that reviews all of the
vocabulary terms that they learned or reviewed during this
project. Students will also fill out a self-assessment explaining
how they felt they did vs. how they thought they would do
starting out and their thoughts on the lesson.
Adaptations/Special populations:
For special and exceptional learners I will adjust the assignment
based on their specific needs. Prior to the lesson I will identify
which students might need/benefit from any special
accommodations, and speak to their paraprofessional about their
abilities. It is my goal to have all my students participate in the
lesson and create a final piece.
