Introducing a dynamic blend of creativity and strategy with our Color theory | Elementary art sub plans

Elevate Color Theory:

Step into a world where art meets gaming excitement! Our Colorful Tetris Color theory | Elementary art sub plans is a lifesaver for art teachers facing unexpected absences. With its easy-to-follow NO PREP instructions and minimal materials required, substitute teachers can effortlessly guide students through this engaging activity, ensuring that learning never skips a beat. You will also teach primary and secondary colors, it can also be used to review color theory or to check students' knowledge.

Foster Collaboration and Critical Thinking:

As students collaborate to solve Tetris-inspired challenges, they develop essential teamwork and critical thinking skills. Through lively discussions and creative problem-solving, they learn to communicate effectively and support each other's artistic endeavors.

It is a good art game to use during the first and last week of school as an art sub-plan and an early finisher activity.

There are two ways to play it: cooperatively or competitively. I confess that I prefer cooperatively.

My students were so excited that some did it a few times until they got the gold medal (rulers on how to play are on the teachers' guide)

Teach or review primary and secondary colors with this student-tested game.

This resource includes:

- Teacher’s guide or art sub plans

- PowerPoint presentation

- 2 options on how to play the game

Discover an engaging Idioms Lesson Plan designed for Language Arts teachers to help students understand and interpret idioms, figurative language, and nuanced meanings. This comprehensive plan aligns with Common Core Standards RI & RL, focusing on word relationships and figurative expressions in academic and content-specific contexts.

Lesson Objectives

• Define "idiom" and distinguish its figurative meaning from the literal.
• Identify idioms in literature, specifically through a read-aloud activity using "More Parts" by Tedd Arnold.
• Translate idioms into their real meanings and differentiate literal vs. figurative interpretations.
• Foster creativity by having students illustrate both the literal and figurative meanings of idioms.

Materials

• "More Parts" by Tedd Arnold (Read-Aloud Text) (Video clickable link included)
• Crayons or colored pencils
• Idiom Drawing Handouts (included)

Procedure

1. Introduction: Engage students by asking if they've heard of idioms. Define idioms as phrases where the meaning isn't literal but understood as a whole.
2. Examples: Discuss common idioms like "It's raining cats and dogs" and explain their figurative meanings.
3. Read-Aloud Activity: Use "More Parts" to highlight idioms in a humorous context. Discuss the meaning behind idioms like "I'll bet that broke your heart" or "He nearly jumped out of his skin."
4. Class Collaboration: Brainstorm a list of idioms students know, compiling them into a classroom chart.
5. Creative Closure: Have students pick a favorite idiom, illustrate its literal and figurative meanings, and present their work.

Assessment and Student Outcomes Students will:

• Demonstrate their understanding of idioms by identifying, explaining, and illustrating them.
• Enhance critical thinking and creativity by interpreting and visualizing idiomatic phrases.
• Build a broader vocabulary and comprehension of figurative language.

This idiom-focused lesson plan combines literacy skills, creativity, and fun to deepen students' understanding of figurative language and enrich their communication skills.
