Cross-Curricular Competencies:
Students will develop thinking by learning a new artists style and applying to their own personal place
and develop drawing skills. Students will develop identity by creating their own personal place on
paper and the elements that make it their own. Students will develop literacies by the opportunity to
reflect on themselves and what they value in their everyday lives. By reflection on their own lives and
producing a image that reflects themselves students will develop social responsibility to themselves.

Stage 2- Assessment
Assessment FOR Learning (formative) Assess the students during the learning to help
determine next steps.
The formative assesement for this lesson will take place during the students work time,
the students will be assessed on accuracy of their drawings of their bedrooms and
following intrstuction of rough style. They will be assessed on ability to think through
own questions of mixing colours to create the colours of their own bedrooms. While
students are painting I will watch how students follow the Erika Stearly style of painting
what you see and less importance of being perfect.
Main Procedures/Strategies:
1. Plan for the period
2. Review good painting. Not perfect, use one colour at a time, look for highlights and
shadows.
3. Student work. Walk around and help
4. Clean up and post students work on white board
5. Next day we will keep painting and work on getting all the main colours down.
Adaptations/Differentiation:
P- will go the library and work on the computer she will also complete colouring pages
Students who did not bring their pictures will complete social studies or any other
homework.
Closing of lesson:
Next class we will keep working on our paintings and get the major colours down and the
work period after that we will work on the details.
Personal Reflection:
This lesson went really well I was happy with how flexible it taught me to be. Some
students did not bring their pictures so they worked on other homework. One student
didn't not want to paint the picture because she did not have the right photo so I was
tested on my classroom management with the student who tried to be on her phone the
whole period. I need to work on how to get students attention when the classroom noise
level is very high.
