Story Making and Imaginary: Arts Lesson Plan Report (Assessment)

Lesson Plan

Title of the Lesson

Perceiving Five Senses: Story Making and Guided Imaginary.

Description

The lesson aims to help young actors develop the imaginative application of the five senses and create the environment for a role to be acted.

Learning (Objectives)

They will also learn to concentrate on their emotional and sensory selves to be able to understand the essence of their roles. In addition, the lesson will assist students in creating their own stories and experiencing those stories at a sensory level (Dinham, 2011).

Language Learning Outcomes: Year 3

• Students will acquire a deep understanding of texts (short stories) are structured;
• They will also be able to connect several ideas into the discussion;
• They will provide answers to the questions, as well as understand how their answers will be evaluated;

Social Studies: 3 Year

• Students will demonstrate the awareness of the ideas provided in the story;
• They will show awareness of the environment so as to recreate the text in different ways (soundscape and bodyscape).

Art Concepts & Understandings

1. Emotional expression by means of the five senses can allow students to experience the narrated stories from another perspective.
2. A sensory state can allow the students to enhance their narrative skills.
3. Our sensory experience is closely connected without imagination and, therefore, an emotional representation can allow students to delve deeply into our imaginative competences.
4. Our body provides a considerable input into non-visionary story representation.

Cultural References

1. Children can learn about different cultures through storytelling. Young people can appreciate social values and define humor, beauty and bravery as essential human qualities. The universal team discussed in the classroom can design universal problems.
2. People of all cultures pay attention to the smell of specific objects and phenomena (smell of flowers, Orient spices smell). Through smells, it is possible to cognize cultures.

Supplies and equipment

To carry out a lesson, some photographs will be necessary, various objects belonging to various cultures (flowers, perfumes, spices, etc.). The room should have enough space for students to move. Notables are necessary, but chairs only.

Lesson Steps (45 minutes):

1. Agreement procedures: (following the three Cs) – 3 minutes:
   1. Communication;
   2. Cooperation;
   3. Concentration;
2. Brainstorm activities (understanding what the five senses mean) – 3 minutes (a reference to culture);
3. Focusing:
   1. Listening to a story (5 minutes);
   2. Designing a dance to practice visual imaginary (7 minutes);
4. Developing ideas (3 minutes)
5. Soundscape (reflect on the story told by using sounds) (10 minutes)
6. Bodyscape (reflect on the story told by using body language) (10 minutes);
7. Thought Tracking and Evaluation (5 minutes)

Checks

Learning parameters

While presenting different activities focused on the five senses (sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste), students should understand how their non-verbal means can allow them to sophisticate their competences and skills as artists (Baldwin, 2010). Therefore, listening to the story and inventing decisions can advance students’ ability to solve problems and discover new ways of how specific ideas can be achieved. In addition, it will also allow children to develop their concepts in an imaginative way. The artwork analysis is an effective way to check how well a student can apply theory in practice (Janson, W. J., & Janson, 2004). While performing certain tasks, students can also get a deeper understanding of how these activities can be connected to the wider world of cultural expression. Within the Year 3 Curriculum, it will be possible for students to understand how content is organized, as well as define the purpose of the text. They will also be able to differentiate between vocabulary choices and language devices that are applied to reach various effects.

It will help to think of the Lesson Plan as the script for a face-to-face encounter with your class. Therefore, each time you list action or directive you need to be clear why you are doing this and specify how it will be achieved. This may lead to further lesson steps
