TIME: one
50-minute Class period
MATERIALS:
- A variety of shapes cut from various colors of construction paper
- Cardstock
- Glue
INTRODUCTION/PREPARATION/ANTICIPATORY SET:
The teacher points to various objects in the room (shapes – the chalk
board, a sheet of paper, etc.), and ask students if they know the shape.
The teacher explains that we will learn about types of lines and seven
two-dimensional shapes.
ACTIVITY:
Lesson Presentation: Using a PowerPoint presentation to reinforce the
lesson (attached), the teacher introduces and discusses 7 shapes: square,
triangle, trapezoid, circle, rectangle, hexagon, and parallelogram. The
teacher also review straight and curvilinear lines.
Guided Practice: Using visuals of each shape types, the teacher and students
review by name each shape, and discussing the type of line(s) used for
each shape.
Independent Practice: Students create a picture using only cut out shapes
of various sized triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, trapezoids,
parallelograms, and hexagons. They glue pieces to create a landscape.
Students must use at least 5 of the 7 shapes discussed. Students may
also combine shapes to create new shapes..
.
EVALUATION/ASSESSMENT:
The teacher assesses each student individually by observing and using
a checklist. Students will have to identify the shapes in their art work,
and tell which lines are straight and which are curved.
CHECKLIST
_____ SQUARE _____The students pointed out
_____ HEXAGON STRAIGHT lines correctly.
_____CIRCLE _____The student pointed out
_____TRAPEZOID CURVY lines correctly.
_____PARALLELOGRAM
_____RECTANGLE
_____TRIANGLE
_____OTHER (student may describe how he or she combined shapes to create
a new shape.

TEACHER'S
REFLECTION:
Students were very excited about the lesson. I displayed my artwork as
a sample, but I did not refer to it until we got to the INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
portion. Students anticipated the art work coming up and were much more
eager to participate throughout the lesson. Using my example helped them
understand that you could create many things by combining shapes. Having
the artwork on display is a must. Students who usually have problems getting
started were on task. This was an effective lesson!
