Lesson Procedure:
Students will think of an everyday hero in their life. They will think of a type
of "emblem" to represent their hero (I.e. cross, fire truck, military symbol)
and they will print it out and bring it to class. Students will then put the
emblem on a piece of cardstock paper and use materials provided to create a
collage and design the surrounding emblem. Students can write words, create
drawings and designs to represent their hero on their paper.We will have the
students pair share at their table and do a "show & tell" talking about their
artwork they have created and why they chose to use their emblem as a
representation of their hero. Students will do a gallery walk at the end to see
all of their classmates artwork.
