6. Objectives Students will be able to identify and explain Robert Wyland’s contribution to ocean conservation. Students will identify at least 3 different marine mammals and locate their geographic habitats. Given a mural topic and main focus, students will contribute to a class mural inspired by Wyland’s work.

7. Pre-Assessment Name: ____________________________Date: __________________ Complete this as best as you can. It is alright if you don’t know all the answers.

8. Post-Assessment Name: ____________________________Date: __________________ Complete this as best as you can. It is alright if you don’t know all the answers. Name one artist associated with ocean conservation: _____________________________ Name 3 different marine mammals and where they can be found on the map provided: _______________________________________________________________________ How can art influence people’s opinions about conservation? _______________________________________________________________________

9. Pre-Assessment Data Mean: 1.5 Mode: 0 and 2 Median: 2 None of the students were able to identify Robert Wyland as an artist No identification of Robert Wyland Only 1 student able to identify 3 mammals and locations Most common mammals identified: Narwhale (Arctic) and Dolphin (Atlantic)

17. Overall Outcomes Student performance increased by 50% (based on mean data) All students were able to explain contribution to the class mural One change: add a drawing component on assessments Students demonstrated strong understanding of how art impacts conservation efforts across the globe. I learned students gain more from lessons when they connect information to personal experiences.
