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?)
