This collection of lesson plans investigates ways artists address political and social issues through their
practice. By carefully examining three works of art from the Chazen’s collection, students will be able
to consider what activism is and how it relates to them and their community. The artwork used in the
curriculum ranges from photographs of schoolchildren exploring their use of language (Ewald) to a
silhouette narrative examining our nation’s fraught history with racism (Walker). The artwork is diverse
in medium, subject, tone, and message. However, several universal themes are present.
The artwork in this collection connects to activism through:
• Addressing histories of oppression
• Considering issues of representation
• Bringing awareness to social and political issues
This is an individual learning strategy which is used to help students access prior knowledge and introduce a new topic by completing a type of ‘ticket’ which admits them to class. Includes student graphic organizer.
Why use it?
- To establish a purpose for reading
- To access and activate prior knowledge and readiness
- To introduce a new topic of study or discussion
- To provide an effective and efficient way of formatively assessing students
This is an individual strategy in which students are presented with a list of statements that are related to the topic(s) presented in a text/video that will be read or viewed. While some of the statements may be clearly true or false, a good anticipation guide includes statements that provoke disagreement and challenge students’ beliefs about the topic. Includes student graphic organizer.
Why use it?
- To access and activate prior knowledge of the topic of a piece of written text or video
- To introduce a new topic from reading an article on the topic or viewing a video
- To build a student’s personal interest in the subject he/she will be reading about or seeing
- To establish a purpose for reading text/viewing a video (students read to gather information that will either confirm or dispute their initial beliefs and cause them to rethink their beliefs)
- To develop critical-thinking skills
