3rd Grade Research Paper

Lesson/Provocation Map
Folklore Art Collage

Grade Level/Age Range: I will be working with third graders on this collage project. The project will be grade appropriate because according to the Common Core third graders are supposed to be able to recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures

Contextual Information: Before my students do this project they will have already learned exactly what a constitutes as a fable, a folktale, and a myth. Also before starting this project I would have read my students a children’s book from each of these genres. I would want to pick the topic of the project depending on which genre the student responded best to during class. Though since I will teach in North Carolina I think the children will love to learn about North Carolina

Then row by row I will have student put back their materials. I’m hoping going row by row gives some students time to gather their trash off the floor. Though I need to my classroom’s floor vacuumed at the end of the day.

Closure: I will have my students all sit in a circle on the floor and go around the circle and have them share their work. Though before we start sharing I’ll explain to let my class that I want them to explain how their collage relates to the folklore I read.

Assessment: By having them explain how their collage relates to the folklore I read to them. Then having another discussion about folklore after everyone shares their work. I will ask them questions about what makes a folklore a folklore. I should be able to tell how well they understand what a folklore is by how many hands go up or by the answers I get to my questions.

Evaluation: I will grade students based on participation since the project focuses mostly on their vision. As long as they share a completed collage they will pass the
