from last class period about the artist I introduced them to and what he was doing with his
series of boxes. I reminded them that they had created the outline of what will become a box
similar to the one Lucas Samaras makes (except with paper and pastel colors). I will ask them if
they remember the symbols they came up with a few weeks ago and that they would be
attaching those symbols to the sides of their boxes today.
2. Guided Practice
Before they are dismissed to work on their boxes, I will demonstrate with a box I have been
working on myself. Just a little example of where to draw the symbols and that it should cover
the whole side of their cube. I will then pass out their t-shapes along with their brainstorming
list that they came up with. If the students came up with more than six symbols, I will ask them
to choose the six that mean the most to them.
3. Independent Practice
The students will start transferring their images to their cube. The order of their placement does
not matter since this will be a three-dimensional cube and its purpose is that all the sides
equally make up the person that they are. They will be using colored pencils to decorate their
cubes with. They will be encouraged to create these images large so they will be noticeable.
They will also be sharing the color pencils with their table, so sharing is important.
4. Closure
I will stop class from continuing to work three minutes before class ends, this will give them
enough time to turn in their images (still flat) into their classroom box and clean up their table
(meaning putting back their color pencils in the right containers). They will then push in their
chairs and line up.
(3rd DAY)
1. Introduction/Motivation:
Students will gather around the front and I will summarize what we have been doing the past
couple of class periods and remind them that today is the day they get to put their cube
together. Discussion will be short in the introduction part of this day because well need most
of the time for presentations after the cubes are finished.
2. Guided Practice
Before they are dismissed, I will give a quick demo on how the cubes will fold and where they
will be taped to create their three-dimensional sculpture. I will then pass out their t-shape to the
students and they will individually walk back to their seats to start working.
3. Independent Practice
Students will be using the tape dispenser that will be located at each table and follow the
instructions I gave during guided practice on how to assemble their cube. They will probably
need to partner up with their neighbor if they need help from someone to hold down the sides
as they tape. Once they finish with their cube, they will carry their cube back to the front of the
table and sit there until everyone is finished. After everyone is done and sitting at the front of
the table I will ask them to come up to the front with their cube and present to the classroom
what they created. They will have to explain what their symbols mean and how they make up
who they are as a person.
4. Closure
All students must have presented by the time class time ends. They will leave their cubes in the
classroom box for me to grade on my own time. Participation grades for their presentation will
be kept on record.

Formative Evaluation
I will be grading them day by day of how well they follow instructions because it will be a
tedious task to get them all to cute their cubes the right way but if they listened to the
instruction well they should manage to do it on their own. On the last day, presentation day, I
will be grading them on their presentation and also on how well they listen to their classmates
talk.
Classroom Management Procedures
This lesson will have some safety procedure when handling scissors. Its always important that
they hold the scissors right and cut away from themselves and others. This will be
demonstrated before letting the kids use scissors (although at that age they may have already
used scissors, a reminder never hurts). To keep the classroom organized, each student will be
responsible for putting everything they used back to the place where it belongs. They will be
responsible to clean up after themselves.
