B. Development-

1. Students will do a practice consultation form.

3. Students will b given a face and body design template and be asked to design their special effects make-ups according to their given scenarios. They will be asked to label products and techniques which they are using and place the make-up on appropriate areas of the body.
 

C. Practice-

1. Students will do a client consultation form while filling the form out.
2. Students will do a practical practicing different special effects techniques in pairs on each other, for good brush control.
3. Students will apply special effects make-up and prosthetics according to their given scenario on each other in pairs.
 

D. Independent Practice-

1. Have the students put the make-up on appropriate parts of the body?
2. Have the students placed the make-up at the appropriate angle/ position/ shape and size?
3. Have the students created a realistic enough make-up?
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. If applied to a moving part of the body on the photo reference, the student is allowed to place the prosthetic to a more appropriate still part of the body for sticking purposes.
2. If there is an odd number of students one of the students can do the special effects make-up on themselves or on the teacher.
3. Give extra time if required to complete.
 

F. Checking for understanding-

1. Ask the students to explain why they have used the techniques they have used.
2. Ask the students to explain why they have used the products they have used.
3. Ask the students to explain why the wound will look like this and how realistic it is.
 

G. Closure-

1. Ask students to think of another scenario and how they would recreate this make-up
2. Ask students which products they would use.
 
7. Evaluation-
1. If the make-up looks realistic.
2. If the student has stuck to the brief to create the correct make-up for the brief.
