Creating a Quality Unit
Weaver, Victoria
School Arts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v104 n8 p42 Apr 2005
In response to changes with content and curricula, and to enable future teachers to be successful, the author has created a very basic guide to creating a quality unit. It is simple in nature so as to allow for numerous artworks, perspectives, and styles of teaching to be incorporated within the organization of the unit. These guidelines are most helpful when students are creating their own units. Of course, the author uses them herself. Some of the suggestions the author provides are: (1) Write and use lesson plans; (2) Know and use the national standards as your overall objectives; (3) Take your time going through lessons and allow for changes; and (4) Teach only one concept or idea per lesson. Other suggestions are included.
