The learning target of this lesson is to introduce first graders to profile portraits. I show a slide show containing only profiles and I ask the students what they notice about all the pictures - most of the time students will say they are all people, they only have one eye...etc. Next, I pause the slide show and have the students help me observe the picture. As we explore the picture I trace the profile onto the board. When we are done I turn off the projector to have a profile left. I then explain rest of the project.
The project expectations:- The tooth fairy needs to be sideways along the top - flying
- The face should be a profile (one eye, side of nose, half mouth...etc)
- Tooth fairy needs to be bigger than my hand (they tend to draw small)
- Tooth fairy needs a way to fly! (we brainstorm these and the kids get really excited - cape, jet pack, balloons, wings (fly, dragon, fairy, butterfly....)
- Tooth fairy should be flying over something (houses, park, zoo, forest, mountains...)
Students learn/review:
- profile portrait
- creative choices
- problem solving
