Ideas about Instructional Materials**

Gayle: I'm planning on using a pretesting activity with the class to determine a baseline understanding of the "typical" art vocabulary that we expect to see fluency with in the art department. After the pretest I will bee using a cool interactive website that has examples, activities, and definitions to teach students. Then I will have students select a work of art from a "bank" to write about using their new understandings. The writing sample will be compared to the previous pretest to see if students better understand the target vocabulary.

I think I would like to use this as just one activity. I am anticipating using approximately 4 of these types of activities throughout one semester (8 for a year-long class) in order to reinforce the art vocabulary we want students to be regularly using.

Meghan: I'm going to create a mission/vision for co-teaching during the 2010-2011 school year with my ELA co-teacher (you all). We will be creating this by looking at the positive/negative chart from the 2009-2010 school that we have previously discussed. We will also be looking at other mission/vision statements that we can use as a model. We will use the objectives to help create our mission and vision. What do ya’ll think about this? This will end up being a “framework” for what we expect from each other and ourselves during the upcoming year.

Gayle: I am only going to do a couple of pretest questions with our group, then direct you to the website so that you can get a gauge of those two components. I will also show you examples the students could choose from.Any ideas or feedback?
