Title - Shades of Summer
By - Jodi Pomerleau
Primary Subject - Art
Secondary Subjects - Language Arts
Grade Level - 4-8
Back to School
This is an easy activity that students enjoy doing, which also serves as a chance for the teacher to get a quick indication of students' writing abilities.
Each student draws a self-portrait, but instead of eyes, the student draws a large pair of sunglasses. In the sunglasses, the student draws something he or she did over the summer...a trip, activity, etc.
Attach a paragraph about what is reflected in the sunglasses. This is an opportunity to review the characteristics of a paragraph. I always like to focus on topic sentences early in the school year.
This makes an instant bulletin board, too!
