LEARNING PLAN (How will you organize student learning in this lesson?
ACTIVATE
1. Discussion/Lecture:
Large group openly discuss new key terms and review
vocabulary/concepts with handout and by writing/drawing them on
the board. Refer to examples that they viewed at the beginning of
class. Explain how techniques can be used to engage a viewer.
Have them fill out a Graphic Organizer so that they can write or
draw pictures of tools, techniques, thoughts, and ideas.
2. Reflect:
Allow students a few minutes of silence so they can complete their
graphic organizers, write down/plan out/sketch their ideas, and to
reflect on what was just presented.
3. Share/Collaborate:
Break into small groups to compare each others graphic
organizers and to discuss their ideas of a hidden teapot. Small
groups will discuss the relationship between form and function.
They will be provided with prompted discussion questions (written
on the board/handout). These questions will organize their
discussion and will help them start thinking about how they are
going to create a hidden teapot.
**Use the large and small group discussion to evaluate the student
involvement and excitement. Use a thumbs up/down/middle to
gauge how well the students understand the assignment and how
ASSESSMENT

- Previously made slab pots, coil pots, and wheel thrown pots
will show which techniques need to be demonstrated and
discussed again.
Formative Assessment:
- Graphic Organizers
- Sketches
- Large and small group discussions
Summative Assessment:
- Rubric - Construction, Craftsmanship, Creativity,
Functionality
Differentiation
Instruction
- Multiple Intelligence:
- Writing on board and handout, pictures on board and
handout, tangible examples within classroom, small group
discussion, large group discussion, computers available for
online videos/further research
Assessment
- Student interest they choose how to hide their teapot
allows for accountability
