I have had students with Language Impairment and it impacts the understanding of my lessons. In some cases, it is an ELL student and sometimes it is not. I have found that some of the same strategies work in both cases. I sit these students next to students that excel, in case they need help. I also took very short basic notes on the dry erase board to model what they should be understanding. I also use my hands to animate my lectures and show slide shows to show examples. I have also integrated Spanish words in the art room when possible. |

Tools And Strategies

I am excited to use a lot of the tools covered. I hope to use the Cubing strategy to explore artwork with the sides based on Bloom's taxonomy of questioning. I have six tables in my classroom and I can see this strategy being used for a different type of question per table. Then I would have the students teach the answers they came up with to the rest of the class. This strategy could be used to cover a wide array of material in one class period. I also have plans to use the Venn diagram in my classroom while contrasting two pieces of art. I am excited to use and explore the listed technology mentioned. I really think that integrating more technology could help me capture my middle school students attention. |

Assessment of Learning

I currently have a student with highly functional Autism. He struggles in almost all classes except for mine. I treat him like everyone else and he rises to the assignments every time. The art always indicates that he gets the assignment but he could be missing some of the why's.....why we are working on what we are working on. I think a pre-assessment could help me understand what skills and knowledge they are entering the project with. I am often surprised that they do not know the artist or art I am talking about. I do use exit tickets and the addition of a pre-assessment will give me the entire picture. |
