Instructional Groupings:(How will you have students work together? Whole group, small group, partners, quads, homogeneous, heterogeneous?)

Students will discuss origami and radial symmetry at their table groups. Students will work individually on the project.

Pre-Assessment: (How will you find out about where your students are at for this lesson? What will your pre-assessment look like?

Students will discuss the vocabulary for the lesson as a whole group. If they do not know the vocabulary I will talk with them about the word and teach them what it means. They will write the words down in their sketchbooks.

Examples:

Steps in the Lesson:Include ideas for whole-class instructions, differentiated activities, guided notes/practice, independent work, engagement strategies, etc…

Day 1: Powerpoint about origami and radial symmetry. Demo of 4 basic origami folds. Begin working on creating pieces for the project.

Day 2-4: Continue folding origami pieces and glue them to the background paper.

Day 3: Finish painting abstract backgrounds if needed. Begin painting tree silhouettes.

Day 5: Finish creating radial designs with origami paper. Complete self-evaluations.

Formative Assessment Strategies:How will you inform yourself throughout the class period the status of the students’ understanding?

Walk around the room, check for understanding by noting their progress with the lesson and answer any questions students have while they are working.

Closure Activity:This may be a chance to share, or explicit restatement of the goals of the lesson, a summarization opportunity, etc…

Students will complete a Self-Evaluation.

Post-Assessment:How will you collect and use data to inform your next lesson?

A class critique will be held to allow students to talk about their own work and the work of their classmates.
