Lesson Plan : Making Fairies
Teacher Name: | E. Rowan |
Grade: | Grade 6 |
Subject: | Arts and Crafts |
Topic: | Creative Development - Christmas |
Content: | Making Fairies to place on the top of Christmas Trees. |
Goals: | Make a three-dimensional structure Understand that media can be combined (Working towards the Early Learning Goals for exploring media and materials - Foundation Stage Creative Development) |
Objectives: | For everybody to create and decorate a Fairy For everybody to enjoy the activity For everybody to show creativity in the decoration of their fairy. |
Materials: | Paper plates, circles of plain card (pre-cut with a cut along the radius), sequins, scraps of shiny paper, felt tips, make up sponges (for the faces), doileys. |
Introduction: | I will help the children to tape together the circle of card so that it forms a cone shape. They will then be presented with the wings and decoration to add on themselves with help from me if necessary. |
Development: | I will have one or two fairies already made up as models for what they are going to make. This should be particularly useful for children who have communication difficulties/impairments |
Practice: | The children will stick the decorations onto the fairies showing their own creativity. I will only intervene when necessary, for example if the child is pouring glue onto the floor. |
Accommodations: | Some children will need more support than others during this activity and I will accommodate these needs to the best of my ability. For example, I may need to adjust the furniture, or I may need to help the child to place decorations onto the glued areas. |
Checking For Understanding: | I will show the child the completed fairy at the end of the activity and give them praise for what they have achieved. |
Closure: | Each child can have a go at putting their fairy on the Christmas Tree. When the fairies are dry, some will be displayed in the hall. |
Evaluation: | All the children in the group created a fairy and seemed to really enjoy the activity. I would definitely do this activity again. The best parts of it, I feel, were firstly the fact that the children were given so much room for creativity, and also that the fairy was a simple template, with which they couldn't go "wrong". It was enjoyable for children of all abilities. Next time I do this activity, I will stick the circles into cone shapes in advance as this proved to be time consuming and uninteresting for most children. |
Teacher Reflections: | The students really enjoyed this lesson. I would do it again. |
