Develop a lesson concept that explicitly demonstrates your engagement with the ideas, discussions, readings, and other texts discussed in Art and Design. A lesson concept is a “work-in-progress version” of a complete music, art, or PE lesson. Although the lesson concept is only in skeletal form, the ideas, strategies, and resources are no different from a lesson implemented in a classroom Concept: What grade level and student population are you aiming to teach in this lesson? (e.g. 4th grade / ELL / Lower-SES) What are the enduring understandings related to the music, art, or PE concept? In other words, what do you want students to take away from this project? How does this connect to the social justice themes we’ve discussed in this class? Rationale: How does teaching this concept address the hidden and/or null curriculum in students’ current education? (i.e. What is missing from the traditional curriculum and how does this lesson address that gap?) What sparked your interest in pursuing this subject/theme? Why is this an important concept for students to learn? This section should be written in narrative form (1 page, double spaced). Articulation of Concept: This is where you will describe the music, art, or PE lesson itself. What instructional strategies will you use to teach this concept? What resources would you employ? How might you assess students’ understanding, skill attainment, or change of disposition?
