| Title | Spanish Art Unit |
| Body | I break the students into 7 groups of 3 each (I don't think this project works well when students are able to work in groups of their choosing). Each group has the responsibility of researching and preparing a 45-min. presentation to give the rest of the class about their artist (El Greco, Velazquez, Picasso, etc. ). I give them about 4-5 days in class to work with their group and then they have about 2 weeks at home to work individually and with their group. I organize the presentations in the chronological order of the births of the artists and the groups present PP presentations or Web pages to the class during a 2-week span. Each group is also responsible for providing the class with a vocab sheet of terms used (to help with student understanding) and a guided notes outline (completely in Spanish of course). As part of their 45 minutes, they are to plan and carry out a 5-8 minute activity with the class. Their activity has to be something creative - not just Q/A and throwing out candy. The last day before the test (that I create based on their info) I let them choose an artist to copy with tempera paints and they try to reproduce the master works. They love this! The best part of this project in my mind is the responsibility that is put on each individual student. Not only are they the ones doing the work (and it's not me spoon-feeding it to them), but they all receive individual grades within the groups which goes a long way towards group peace and personal satisfaction after the project.
