Art 1 students created presentations on the effects of CO2 on climate change in groups as part of a lesson on making art about a big idea. After presenting their work, they created rugs using plastic grocery sacks.

I love the idea of a tiny house. Less house to clean. Potentially freeing up income, especially on a teacher's salary. Let's just say I have watched a lot of T.V. shows about tiny houses. So...enter tiny house project. In this project students used graph paper to create 3d "blue prints" to design tiny houses. Their houses had to be proportional to the dimensions of average real-life tiny houses. Students had to conduct research for all of the appliances included on their blue prints and draw them to scale as well. Dimensions, prices, and images of appliances all had to be documented in the Appliance Document provided to them through Google Classroom. Students used this Housing Expenses document to keep track of how much they spent building their house. This is the rubric I used to assess their work. I also provided of copy of the rubric for students to check and make sure they include everything.
This one is a long one. I have usually split it into two days but this year I put it all together. The videos I used are linked below.
To start the new semester we are going to make sketchbooks, something I wish I would have done at the beginning of the year. I have, in the past, asked students to purchase sketchbooks. This had always caused a lot of stress. Students would forget. Some would not be able to purchase a sketchbook. I would search the room for left over or donated books. I would help students make books. Just ensuring that each student had a sketchbook became such a task, that the importance of using the books was minimized to the point that I did not even ask students to get them this year.
