Learning Goals: This Instructional Sequence  The power of KEEN observation as preparation for writing.  The power of targeted talk as preparation for writing.  Academic language as a thinking tool.

Academic Language  Content  Mood or tone  Use of line  Use of color  Use of light and shade  Composition  Perspective

Keen Observation  5 minutes

Part 1 Directions 1.Clear your desktop except for your writing tools. 2.Open your envelope and remove ONLY the art card. Place it, picture-side up, on your desk. 3.5 minutes. Study your art. DO NOT READ THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ART ON THE BACK OF THE CARD!

Part 2 Directions 1.Remove the Observation Response Sheet and follow the directions for part 2 (5 minutes). 2.DO NOT TURN THE PAGE YET!

Part 3 Directions  Turn the page. Follow the directions. –Look at the information about your piece on the back of the card. What, if anything, does this add to your understanding of the work? Write your ideas in the space provided.

Part 4 Directions  Get into groups to discuss your painting with others who have the same work. Try to use the academic language from Part 2.

Discussion Process  Each person (in turn) reads “This is a painting about…” sentence and offers at least two pieces of evidence from the painting to explain his or her claim.  After everybody has read…general discussion about the painting.  Groups with SAME card.

After the Discussion  Write for 5 minutes about the painting. –What did you notice? –What does it mean? –How does it make you feel? –What components of the painting created your response?  Synthesizing/ clarifying

Using a Mentor Text

Final Task  You are the art critic for the Los Angeles Times. Write a 1-2 paragraph piece for the Sunday Calendar section of the paper about your painting which is on loan from the Art Institute of Chicago and which will be exhibited at the Getty for the next six months.

Discussion of the Process  What did we do?  What helped you have ideas to write about?  How can you use what you’ve learned about keen observation to help you get ideas at other times when you have to write?  Similar tasks: –Rock for a week –Observe a non-domesticated critter

Tidy Up  Please put the picture card in the envelope and pass it back to me.
