I. LESSON NUMBER: 1
LESSON TOPIC: Today is the intro day. Students will come into the classroom
and fill out an entry ticket to gage student awareness of
upcycling/repurposing. Verbal Questioning will be used to discuss student
answers. Next, students will have an introduction to the Unit by the teacher
using an introductory slide show. The teacher will show students examples
of artists and professionals that take simple things and accomplish amazing
things, such as Shigeru Ban. Other examples of artists that turn limitations
into genius include Chuck Close and Phil Hansen, both artists. Students will
learn about previous project examples, and that this project is to help them
think like a designer and make good use of their resources.
IX. RELATIONSHIP TO THE UNIT: This lesson introduces the topic of creative and
critical thinking as an studio habit of mind and life skill. Students learn that
creativity can occur and often be helped by limitations. They begin brainstorming
today.
1
X. RELATIONSHIP TO LIFE: Creative and critical thinking skills are lifelong, and
can be applied to any life circumstance. Particularly, students are learning to engage
and persist, envision, express, and to not think of resources in terms of what they
are, but what they could be. This lesson also incorporates modern day artists and
designers, helping students to see real-life applications now.
XI. STANDARDS:
A. State Standards:
1. Standard: VA:Cn10.1.I Document the process of developing
ideas from early stages to fully elaborated ideas.
a. This standard is addressed in this lesson through
students beginning to brainstorm, using both
concept maps and bouncing ideas off of other
students.
2. Standard: VA:Cr1.1.I Use multiple approaches to begin
creative endeavors.
a. This standard is address in this lesson through using
the approach of concept maps, and questioning
strategies to spur brainstorming.
B. ADAPTATIONS/DIFFERENTIATION:
1. Whole Group:
2
a. WHOLE-CLASS DISCUSSION: Individual students will be asked to
respond to verbal questioning at various points. Their answers
benefit the whole in terms of understanding the project, product
development, brainstorming, etc.
2. Small Groups:
a. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION: On day one, and during project
development, students will discuss prior knowledge, and then feed
ideas off of one another. These are helpful in the brainstorming
process and learning to collaborate with other individuals.
Students will gain new perspectives from students that are aware
of different needs because of their own sub-cultures.
3. Student A: emotional/social disorder
a. This student can participate equitably.
4. Student B: autism
a. This student can participate equitably.
D. INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY:
1. Teacher Use for Planning and Teaching
a. iPad, Phone or Computer: the teacher will use a video
device to record prototypes that include motion.
Computers will be used in Research.
b. Camera: This technology is used to photograph
representations of new purposes.
3
c. Photoshop: This technology can be used to photoshop
multiple photos together, as the teacher may not have the
physical resources to set up a representation.
d. Powerpoint or Movie Maker: This will be used by the
teacher for the introductory slide show/movie.
4
1. Science: Students will explore materials in terms of their
chemical, biological, and physical properties. Knowing this
information allows for different applications.
2. Language Arts: Research will go into the study of the
product, and will be reported, along with student findings
during their creative process, in a paper that will be turned
in at the end of the project.
H. COMMUNITY RESOURCES:
1. n/a
B. EXEMPLARS:
a. 1. Brainstorming List (teacher created)
b. 2. Powerpoint Presentation of Salad Spinner project (teacher
created introductory slideshow)
XVI. PROCEDURES:
Introduction:
1. Announcements
5
Opening Discussion/Entry Ticket/Bell Ringer/or Journal Prompt:
1. Entry Ticket: : Asks questions regarding student exposure to repurposing,
recycling, engineering, and design-thinking practices.
Distribution of Supplies: Put paper tubes, scissors, tape on table.
Studio/Work Period:
1. Students will come in and start on the Entry Tickets right away. The teacher
will have them on the corner of her desk. Students will be given 8 minutes to
respond. Then the teacher will ask the class their responses, prompting
discussion. The entry tickets will be collected
2. The teacher will give each group paper tubes (look like paper towel
cardboard centers), about 3-4 per table top. Tell students they have 10
minutes to build something out of the tubes in table groups. They can also
use scissors and tape.
3. After the 10 minutes, students can walk around and look at each other’s
projects.
4. Once everyone has a seat again (give them about 2 minutes to walk around),
the teacher will go through the introductory slides for the next project called
the “Unlimited Project”. The teacher will talk about Shigeru Ban and talk
about his accomplishment of designing sustainable emergency housing out of
paper tubes.
5. Next, the teacher will talk about Chuck Close and Phil Hansen, modern day
artists that have found new creativity through their limitations. Watch the
video clip on the slide with circles on it (just the Phil Hansen video clip).
6. Next, the teacher will introduce the project challenge slide and talk about
choosing a product with a specific purpose. Students will be led in a Concept-
Mapping exercise that they can draw in their sketchbooks.
Concluding Discussion/Exit ticket/Journal Prompt/etc.:
1. Students will be asked to be prepared to have two more concept maps made
for 2 additional products by next class.
Clean-Up:
1. Students will be given 7 minutes at the end of the period to clean up. Each is
responsible for wiping down his/her section of their studio table. No one gets
to leave if the sinks have trash around them (cleaning supplies are okay).
Everyone should have all of their papers, journals either put away in their
storage section or they should take it with them.
