printmaking they will print on their own pages to use later
for either journaling, scrapbooking, ect.

Please respond to the following questions thoroughly and in complete sentences.

1. What student prior knowledge will this lesson require/draw upon? It will require design knowledge, will touch on
past journaling or scrapbooking experience, and will require the students to be open in the making and execution of
this project.

2. How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways? It will allow them to
follow instructions that could prove to be frustrating or difficult in ways, and it will also encourage patience as
designing the pages will prove to be repetitive.
3. How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning? Students can use this project through the
course of the class as a form of documentation.
4. How will you adapt the various aspects of the lesson for differently-abeled students? This lesson can be adapted
by instead of having the students make their own books students can use old books and alter them for the needs of
this lesson. Students can use only one type of printmaking methods so that they are not overwhelmed by the
amount of processes
5. What opportunities/activities will you provide for students to share their learning in this lesson? This lesson has
opportunities so that students can share their work at the start and it can be used throughout a semester/year and
the final project can be presented at the end or at least how it was used throughout the semester/year.
