Final+Assignment

** Due Date:Friday, July 6, 2012 **
The goal of our Summer Institute has been to offer you new strategies for integrating the arts in your classroom.If you are an arts teacher our goal has been to get you thinking about ways that you might collaborate with your colleagues teaching in other curricular areas.With this in mind, your final project is an opportunity for you to jump right in and begin to plan two lessons that you can try in your classroom.

** Project Requirements: **

You must present two fully developed lesson plans along with all of the necessary support materials to teach the lesson in your classroom (i.e. Handouts, visual or audio materials, copies of visual art examples, assessment tools...).Remember to include the state or national standards that you are addressing with your lesson.

One of your lessons must be something that you can teach independently in your classroom.The second lesson must be something that requires you to collaborate with a colleague – either an arts specialist or another classroom teacher.If you are an arts specialist, you must plan a lesson in collaboration with a non-arts related colleague.

When planning your lessons, please use at least two of the strategies taught during our week together.You may combine strategies within a lesson or you may use a different strategy for each of your required two lesson plans.

The format of the lesson plan should reflect your school or district’s requirements.If your school or district does not have a required format for lesson plans, please use the format attached here.

Once all projects have been submitted and reviewed, they will be posted on our Wiki page to be shared by all of our Institute participants.

** Course Evaluation/Grade: **If you are receiving credit for this course you will be assigned a letter grade which will be forwarded to Clemson University and applied to your academic record.Your grade will be determined on the following basis:

10% based on your participation in pre-session discussions 70% based on your participation during our week long Institute 20% based on the quality and completeness of your final project
