C. Practice-

will be repeated. As we click through be sure to pick one that is
your "favorite". (8 minutes)

D. Independent Practice-
1. Take out your laptops and log onto our class website.
2. You have two assignments to complete in the next 30 minutes.
Assignment #1 - Go to our blog, add a blog/discussion post labeled
"Mi Favorito" and express in 3-5 sentences (in Spanish) which painting
is your favorite from those we have studied in class this past week.
Be sure to include your name, the name of the painting and the artist.
When complete, read some of your classmates choices and comment on
2 of your peers blog posts. Be sure to add something that is both
appropriate and helpful as a reply.
Assignment #2 - Return to our class homepage and search for the link
that reads ARTIST IDENTIFICATION PRACTICE. Here, you will be directed
to a Quia quiz that will allow you to practice your art skills. You
are to complete the quiz as many times as needed until you score a
perfect grade. Keep in mind that I see how many submissions you needed
before success and also that you have limited time until the bell
rings, so don't simply guess or waste time!

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. Provide extended time (in the learning lab) for my special education
students.
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Circulate around the room during laptop work to assure students
are on task.
2. Log onto the blog later in the day and check that all students
were blogging and also check for Spanish accuracy.
3. Review the Quia quiz scores and identify which students were having
problems by checking how many entries were submitted. |

G. Closure-
1. When you have finished, please return your laptops to the correct
bin, plug them in for charging and be prepared for your exit question.
2. Stand at the door and show each student a reproduction (mini-poster)
of a painting. The student must correctly identify the artist in order
to exit the room.
(10 minutes) |

7. Evaluation-

1. Students are administered a unit assessments for the Art Unit.
I will evaluate their understanding through daily checks, but ultimately
will gage their understanding and learning with the unit test.

to incorporating blogging into this unit (in two more weeks!) |
