Here’s the lesson for December 6th! This has lots of creativity activities with it. We’d love to see what your students come up with, so please tag us in some pics if you have them!

As before, the questions get harder as they go, so simply ask the first 1 or 2 questions if your students aren’t ready for the 3rd.

Let us know how it goes! We can adapt these lesson plans in real time, so give us your feedback!

Merry Christmas!

For those of you who plan ahead, here’s the poetry and painting lesson plan for December 4th. (But also it’s ok if you don’t plan ahead. You can “open and go” Monday morning as well)

I prepared this lesson plan a few days ago and have not been able to get the painting and poem out of my head since! The act of comparison opens each up in such profound ways!!

While the poem may seem too challenging for young students at first, give it a try! It’s ok if they don’t fully understand the poem. You may be surprised by what they see!

Here’s your first poetry and art lesson plan to prepare for Christmas! We’ll be posting a new one each week day, so you can take one thing off your plate, throw this in, and prepare for Christmas without the stress (at least regarding school)!

While most of the prompts and discussion questions fit any age, we have put more challenging questions towards the end. Just tap out when it feels right!

Make sure to follow and share with friends so you can do these together!

Merry Christmas!

Don’t forget to save this post for when you need it!

Why do students break down in class? It’s usually quite simple, and even a healthy human response.

We want to be praiseworthy. Humans will become what those we admire praise. And that’s ok.

But it means we need to be very VERY careful what we praise!

If we act like grades are the most important things for our students (even if we say otherwise) they will seek those first.

And with seeking grades comes the fear of failure that suffocates curiosity and creativity.

🙌🏼 Instead of praising good grades, let’s praise virtues and see how it sets our students free! And who knows, it might even set us free in the process.

Examples of prompting the question:

🧐 let’s say your logos is “Renaissance artists embraced classical Humanism”. To prompt the question, you could show your students many images of Renaissance paintings of people and ask your students to contemplate those images.

When they start observing that they all look really fit and young, either ask them to write down some questions related to that, or simply ask them the question that leads to the logos yourself. It might be “why did they paint people to only look fit and young?”

BOOM.

Now you’ve got them interested in the topic and searching for the logos!

You’re all set to show them examples of Grecian art and Renaissnace art so they can figure out for themselves that the Renaissance artists were working within the understanding of mankind posited by classical humanism.
