1a) Weekly reading assignments: Most weeks, there will be a reading
assignment. The readings will be based on material in our book, “Visual
Arts Units – All Levels.” This book models instructional units, many of
which are Social Studies content, explaining how teachers and students
can easily do them. Also, our weekly readings will be based on materials
to be found on the web. These will include the New York State learning
standards in Social Studies; The New York State Core Curriculum for
Social Studies; and a wide variety of articles on teaching, reviews and
samples of instructional units, instructional resources and how and why to
use them, and more. Links for all of these items will be included in the
assignment description.

1b) After doing the reading and reflecting, you will write a response to
what you’ve read. The response should address the focus questions
provided in the assignment description. These assignments will be graded
on a 1 – 3 point basis, with 3 being the highest score possible: A 3 will
be given for a response that is highly satisfactory – a 2 will be given for
a response that is incomplete or that does not answer in sufficient depth
– and a 1 will be given for a response that is doesn’t sufficiently address
the focus questions or that is incomplete. You will post your responses in
a Discussion Forum on our class Blackboard area. You’ll receive feedback
from directly under you post and received a grade for each weekly
reading assignment in our Blackboard Grade Center… roughly a week
after turning it in.

1c) Later in the week, please return to our Discussion Forum and write a
response to another student’s posted assignment. Please do this for a
student who hasn’t already received feedback from someone in the class.
I’ll appreciate it if your feedback offers some solid suggestions and
perhaps, some constructive criticism… something more than ” I like your
work.” At the end of the semester, your feedback responses to other
students’ weekly assignments and their Final Project will be evaluated.
Together, they will be worth 10% of your final grade.

2a) In week #10 you will turn in a Final Project. However, it is expected
that all students will work on this throughout the semester! Your Final
Project will be a written and illustrated (more about that part later)
instructional unit. Presenting well thought out and effectively written unit
plans (extended lesson plans) is a core competency that all teachers
need, and our Final Project is intended to expand and refine your skills in
this area.

2b) Each of our weekly reading assignments is designed to give you
important background and information that you will need to do your Final
Project. Think of these 2 parts of the coursework (the Weekly Reading
Assignments and the Final Projects) as interrelated, each enabling and
enhancing the other.

2b) The Final Project will be done in 5 components. You will turn in each
of the components according to our assignment due date schedule. Each
will receive a grade (10% of the total for the Final Project). I will give
you feedback and suggestions for each, roughly a week after you submit
it.

2b) It is expected that, based on your further learning and reflections
during the semester, you will improve and refine each of these
components before turning them all in again in week ten – At that time,
you will join the 5 final versions of these components together to create
your finished Final Project which will be worth the other 50% of the
Final Project score. You will post your final project online in a Discussion
Forum to share it with the class. I will get your Final Project feedback
and grade to you roughly a week after you turn it in.

2c) – Here is a list of the components of the Final Project:
1 – Unit Overview: Here, you will identify a theme for your project (Social
Studies content taught through an arts-based instructional approach)
2 – Flow Chart: With this, you will plot the flow of activity and learning
that takes place during the unit – what is presented to the students (and
when) - what do they do first, second, third, etc. – what do they need to
know before they participate in the various parts of the unit – what do
they learn first, second, etc. That sort of thing.

2c) – Here is a list of the components of the Final Project:
3 – Mock Student Work Sample: Your unit will be a Social Studies theme
taught through the creation of an Art Project. As part of your
implementation and explanation to the students, you will have to create a
sample of the same work of art that you assign them to work on! You will
create this original work of art using the Digital Collage method, something
for which explanations, instructions, and samples will be provided.
NOTE: Our Digital Collage method requires no talent or difficult learned
skills or techniques. It is calculated to free the untrained artist from the
demands of craft so that he can concentrate on and learn, design,
expression, and artistic communication of ideas and knowledge.

2c) – Here is a list of the components of the Final Project:
4 – Defend Your Project: Here you will explain in detail how your unit plan
satisfies the requirements of the project. These, along with a check list
and grading rubric, will be detailed in our Course Information folders of
our BlackBoard area.
5 – Session by Session Lesson Plans: You will write up a plan for each of
the multiple sessions of your unit. A template and explanations will be
provided.

3) GRADING – Your final grade will be calculated based on the following formula: A)The average of the grades you receive for the
weekly reading assignments will be worth 45% of your Final Grade.
B)The Final Project will be worth 45% of your Final Grade.
C)The quality of the feedback you give classmates during the course will be worth up to 10% of your Final Grade.
