I wrote a lesson plan which included the use of How Van Gogh Made His Mark. The interaction makes it an engaging experience for students. If you have access to computers Explore & Learn is a great interactive learning tool to implement into your lesson plans! The Metropolitan Museum of Art also has a great Timeline of Art History. Where was this when I needed a timeline??
Other Explore & Learn topics:
Cézanne's Astonishing Apples
Romare Bearden: Let's Walk The Block
China: Dawn of a Golden Age, 200–750 ADA Resource for Teachers and Students
Gilbert Stuart: Making Faces
The Tomb of Perneb
Childe Hassam, American Impressionist
This weeks filler is... All the Cats Join In from the Cartoon Make Mine Music (1940s)
Some things I have learned in the first month of student teaching:
- Learn to pick your battles
- Don't look at situations as battles
- Positive re-enforcement works wonders with "uninterested" students
Issues:
- How to address students who plainly refuse to do their work in class
- What's the best way to discipline (address the student privately, a call home, detention?)

Mija, you are doing an excellent job here. Where do you get all the great info. You will have to teach me some tricks girr.
When students refuse to do their work in class, hold up on finger in front of their face and shake it and say "you ain't gonna give me your attitude ok?" or send them home. (o dales una patadita)
