Reflection #12 Sarah Sumsion

Last week we taught our 5 lessons. Our Ancient Greek vases lesson took 3 days to complete so we taught it in phases.

This art lesson was a great way for us to teach the students how the Greeks used art to tell a story or document their history. Students were able to make their own Greek vases using scratchboards. They were able to choose a style of vase as well as a myth to illustrate. The students really enjoyed this lesson and thanked us afterwards for planning a fun activity.

Hopefully students will be able to see how art was easily integrated into a lesson. We found it seemless to teach through the arts. I really enjoyed teaching this lesson, although there was A LOT of preparation to be ready. I enjoyed finding lessons integrating art and I enjoyed seeing the other 2 cohort partnerships do a variation on the Greek vases in their classes.
