Find a lesson for your grade level and content area. You may obtain the lesson in any manner you choose (e.g., Google search, ChatGPT, lesson repository, etc.). Share a link to the lesson. If generated by ChatGPT or other AI, include that information. Using robust support from course required studies, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the following: Learning targets Incorporation of checks for understanding Technology use for formative assessment Based on your evaluation, what specific improvements would you make and why? Again, be specific. For example, if you would integrate a technology, name the technology. The lesson you find might not use the exact language above (i.e., learning targets, checks for understanding). That is okay. They might be there, but are labeled differently, or they might not be included at all. This is all part of the evaluation process. If they are not included, do not simply say they aren't there; evaluate the necessity of them in the context of the lesson. Submission Content Submission Content For this evaluation of a lesson plan I wanted to incorporate a readily available AI tool and I have not explored much. I went into Snapchat and asked my AI " Hey can you write a visual art lesson plan for a high school student?" The AI responded with, "What medium and topic are you interested in focusing on"? My response was " A mixed-media drawing of a fish". I received the outline, I asked the AI to elaborate by adding the Illinois State standards. I took screenshots of the conversation for future reference. I recieved, "1. Introduction, 2. Materials list ,3. Steep by step instructions 4. Reflection and Critique." For an outline, I was shocked that this was written in about 20 seconds. Once I asked for the standards to be added this lesson became plausible. The Learning Targets were non-existent, but by creating my own and using the methods that were previously taught I created a few for this particular lesson plan. I am thinking about using this lesson plan with Intro to Art next school year, as this process was engaging for me, and I still had to create and elaborate as the AI was close, but not all the way there. Berger states, "In Leaders of Their Own Learning we promote the practice of nesting supporting or daily learning targets within long-term learning targets. Long-term learning targets are derived from standards (e.g., Common Core, state, local, district standards), which can be bundled together to focus instruction and assessment. Turning bundled standards into long-term learning targets makes the language of the standards plain to students and helps them understand where they are headed with their learning over a period of days or week. Supporting targets, which are often broken down further into daily learning targets, are derived from long-term targets and become the anchor for daily instruction. Supporting targets “nest” within long term targets and are created by breaking the long term targets into manageable chunks that will guide your students’ learning on a day-to-day basis". Here are the learning targets I wrote for this particular lesson: I can demonstrate my understanding of fish anatomy by accurately sketching the shapes and details. Of a fish. I can experiment with a variety of mixed media techniques to create texture, pattern, and color in an original drawing of a fish. I can reflect on my artwork and make informers decisions from my creative choices. I can engage in peer critique processes to provide constructive feedback and develop their ability to analyze and discuss artwork. The checks for understanding were included in this simple outline fairly well. The start was a teacher-driven discussion about types of fish and their characteristics. I would/will provide a detailed Google slide presentation as well. The list of materials is a student's choice and can be demoed or front-loaded which will allow for individual questions based on techniques chosen. The final section of this lesson is about the reflection process as well as the critique. This is a great check for understanding. The only element that is missing is the use of technology which I would incorporate during work time I would use Jamboard for an in-progress critique, and then Artsonia is used for the digital portfolio and artist statement like all of my lessons, but that is on me as the educator to in force as the AI wouldn't have been previewed to what is already taking place in the classroom. Using Snapchat AI as a tool and starting point was an amazing experiment to draft and break down a lesson plan. It was quick and fun as well as helpful, but having the proper knowledge to fill in the gaps and elaborate where the message is needed as the lesson was close, but not quite ready for the students.
