PDAE Lesson #5 exploring the web
Science Specialist- Lai Lum
Some surprising places for art integrated lessons (or for ideas to develop UBD units):
Crayola = www.crayola.com/lessons-plans/
(they have around 55 lesson plans for Arts Integration)
Scholastic = www.scholastic.com/teachers/collection/strategies-arts-integration
PBS.org
(this site has more enhancement and arts appreciation lessons
that can be included in a UBD unit.)
Utah Education Network
(this site has K-12 lesson plans that are structured for the 4 art forms
and can be modified for arts intergration)
Collages / Universities: K-12 lessons attached to state or core standards
ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts =
artswork.asu.edu/resources/lesson_plans/integrated_arts/
Yale = Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute
University of Missouri = Music materials
other sites: Lessons for K-12 connected to core curriculum
AskEric = Lesson Plans
educationcloset.com/arts-integration-lessons
(this has only a few lessons that are pretty easy to get and use but you have to
click on the lessons a few times before you get to the screen with the lesson on it)
www.edutopia.org
(this site had a few that are PDF format and is set up like a unit per grade level)
http://artsintegration.com/portal/lesson-planning/
(this site was neat because it had a template for the lessons, basic tools to understand
arts integration and what to do to help a teacher start using arts integration.)
In exploring these sites I found almost all sites for arts integrated lessons would refer back to the Kennedy Center Website or they would list some of the lessons found there.
I got great ideas from all of these sites that could enhance or show examples that I can use in some of my arts integrated lessons that I am currently trying. Most sites are a work in progress and are collecting/ developing lessons to add to their web page. I loved the ones that were more like Arts edge lessons (organized and teacher friendly)!

Lai-
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting these websites. I immediately went to the crayola one and looked at the lesson plans. I found a lot. Not only are there lesson plans but each one lists standards and adaptations. As I am doing a shadow puppet lesson, I looked for that and found many lessons and the one I liked had these standards:
.
LA: Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.
VA: Use different media, techniques, and processes to communicate ideas, experiences, and stories.
VA: Use visual structures of art to communicate ideas.
And I will definitely use this site in the future.
You found a lot of useful sites. I had forgotten about AskEric so I am glad you also posted that. I agree with you that a lot of these sites are a work in progress and now we know how to adapt these lessons to fit our goals and plans.
Thank you!
Lai, thank you for sharing! I too went to the Crayola site after reading your post. While many of these ideas are hashed out for elementary school students, I truly believe that the joy of learning and coloring should not be lost with my high school students. I am thinking of ways to adapt all of these fun projects to our upper grade curriculum, but it is great to know that we have the support of such an iconic company.

ReplyDeleteWay to go!! LOL. I like how you found other web sites that weren't necessarily 'arts integrated' but could be used for lesson planning if you just add an idea here or tweak something there. When i have more time, i will definitely be looking through some of the websites your posted to see what i can add to our PDAE binder. :)
