Creative Art Lesson Plan - Assignment Example

Young children learn best when most of their senses are involved, hence there are several materials/props I have prepared, including the music, the art materials, the pictures of animals, etc. In this lesson, they will not only use their sight and hearing from the pictures and music but they will also use their sense of touch when they work on the Butterfly Blotto. It is a packed lesson which I hope will be a way to develop their fine motor skills (Art), gross motor skills (Movement), social skills when they sing, dance, and work together with other children, cognitive skills when they identify and talk about the animals and what they look/sound like as well as what they do.

I can even make them sort the pictures of animals in various ways such as grouping them according to covering, habitat, or the number of body parts. Finally, the song teaches about values because it focuses on praise and thanksgiving. 2.In your lesson, how did you meet the needs of students with different learning styles? What were the students’ responses?I considered that all my students have different needs. For those who can join the main activity, I have prepared the song and dance and the art activities.

However, for my students who may not be capable of the activities due to some disability, age, or lack of skill, I have also devised some ways for them to also participate such as improvising on the materials they can use (ex. Glue sticks instead of liquid glue; thick paintbrushes instead of thin ones; easels instead of tables, with corresponding thicker paints). I have also considered those who may be unable to join the group movement activity to just watch the video in another room so that they can also enjoy the song while doing the small movements on their own without inhibitions.

The children welcomed these differentiated strategies. Those who were sent to the video room initially just wanted to stay, and they were allowed to be with the group, but later on, they asked to see the video separately.
