Formative Assessment strategy:
Visual Art: Did they spend time coming up with an idea for their art piece?
Literacy: Did the students pay attention to the book and write a plan for
recycling?
Summative Assessment strategy*:

Visual Art: They completed the recycled art piece and it is clear they put
time and thought into it.
Literacy: They wrote a plan of what they can do to recycle.
Science: They gathered and used recycled objects to create their art piece.
What student prior knowledge will this lesson require/draw upon?

This lesson will require that the students have prior knowledge of recycling.
How will you engage students in imagining, exploring, and/or experimenting in this lesson?
I will provide them with several different materials so that they are able to experiment with the objects that they find most useful for the idea they have. I
will provide them with picture examples of recycled art so that they are inspired with ideas of what they could make.
How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?
This lesson encourages students to solve the problem of the lack of recycling. It does so by giving them the information to understand the importance of
recycling.
How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning?
I will put a recycle bin in the room so that the students can recycle instead of throwing everything in the trash.
How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson to differently-abeled students?
The lesson is easily adaptable to any student. They will be able to complete the art project to the best of their ability. If a student has a difficult time with
writing then they can discuss their plan with me rather than write it.
What opportunities/activities will students be given to revise and improve their understandings and their work?
The will be able to revise their recycle plan and their art piece.
What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning in this lesson?
They will share their plans, as well as, art pieces with each other so that they can learn from one another.
