ASS$SS'$,T ST-AT$G.$S : +ntry Level (to find out prior knowledge, skill level): 7 7 (here will be a $ui% with vocabulary and concepts of printmaking (his will be done informally in class

tudents will be able to work on this in class with a partner

7 (here will be a discussion about the contents of the $ui% in class directly after the $ui% is over 7 (his will allow me to know what kind of information the students know about the techni$ues it will take to make a successful printmaking pro8ect 7 9nowing what my students have been exposed to will allow me to build a proper foundation for the techni$ues used to do printmaking using ink and linoleum/rubber blocks

Progress :onitoring (making sure that all students understand and make steady
progress): 7 7 7 Planning pages will be due before students begin the pro8ect" ) will check them ;e will also have a mid"point criti$ue Planning pages will be briefly discussed with each student

7 )n criti$ue students will get feedback from both teacher and students on the design and $uality of their work 7 (his will allow me to make sure all of the students understand the pro8ect and will allow me to re"teach in areas of confusion

ummative (measuring whether students have met the standards based ob8ectives):
7 tudents will be given a rubric outlining the lesson when the lesson is introduced. ) will assign grades based on a grading scale measuring what students have accomplished compared to expectations 7 tudents will receive the completed graded rubric with comments after the pro8ect is completed and turned in. Connection to the /orld at large: +ach lesson must include a link to something more expansive like art history, aesthetics, ocial culture, advertising, etc., or another discipline / sub8ect ) will use the fact that we are making greeting cards as a 8umping off point to discuss other art careers. &rt is not 8ust fun or something pretty to look at but it can have a purpose in society.

(he discussion about art careers will be introduced at the beginning of the lesson using hand outs and a power point. ;hen the students reali%e that the pro8ect they are making has a purpose other than being fun or pretty to look at it will give them extra drive.

TH$ L$SS),
L$SS), .,T-)0UCT.),: #&< ,-+: )ntroduce 4nit: tudents will make greeting cards portraying a chosen sentiment using the relief process of printmaking to create a graphic design with interesting composition. (hrough out this unit we will discuss the purpose of art through greeting cards and how it affects our contemporary culture. (his sub8ect matter will also allow us a platform to discuss the multitude of art careers available in our !/st century state of mind. tudents will be given $ui% on basic vocabulary and concepts/methods of printmaking tudents can do this $ui% with help from a partner &fter the vocabulary $ui% have a discussion on what the definitions are and how they will be useful in this pro8ect ;rite definitions on board and use vocabulary handout as adaptation &lso discuss different methods of printmaking tudents will be shown the popplet site for future reference of vocabulary words.

&s a small activity, the class will work on a small 5x0> block using carving tools to experiment with how to create texture. Planning pages given as homework: (he lists should narrow down your choices to decide what sort of sentiment or feeling you would like to depict on your greeting card (heir thumbnail sketches along with reference pictures will be in the same format as the paper they will use for the final Print, solving any compositional problems ;ebercise also given as 3omework (refer to website) #&< (3'++: tudents will have the opportunity to work on their planning pages in class to bounce ideas off of other students as well as the teacher. AA tudents must complete planning pages (including any reference pictures) before receiving any materials for printmaking pro8ectAA Linoleum/rubber blocks, transfer paper, ball point pens, and blue tape will be out and ready for use &fter approving their planning pages students will transfer their graphic design to their blocks using the transfer paper and ball point pens &lso the :ultimedia Pro8ect (graphic organi%er) will be assigned today (refer to website). #&< B,4': (here will be a review safety when using carving tools &lways cut going away from your body 9now your target and beyond 6eneral sharp tool rules (eacher will collect student )# before handing out carving tools and bench hooks tudents who have successfully transferred their design can begin carving their block ;ebercise 3omework due today #&< B)1+" +1+-: tudents continue to carve their block #&< +)63(: )nk, rollers, Plexiglas, brayers, and registration boards will be available (eacher will review techni$ues for registration and getting ink onto the block

tudents will make their first test print :id"point criti$ue: students will present their best test print to the class along with one $uestion where they are looking for feedback from the class to solve a problem this will inspire students when seeing a wide range of ideas and spur on those who are lacking students will also get feedback from the teacher #&< -)-+"B,4'(++-: tudents will use these days to fix any problems that were discussed in the mid"way criti$ue. tudents can make as many prints in as many colors as they feel fit but must choose their best five prints to turn in for a grade. :ultimedia Pro8ect (graphic organi%er) will be due on same day as Prints.
