From the Paper
"The following is a brief outline of a class lesson plan for the teaching of a traditional children's story book - in this case, the City Mouse and the Country Mouse (Cone Bryant, para.1-17). The lesson plan's "points of focus" are really upon three things: firstly, learning to appreciate the places and people you know; secondly, learning that every appealing thing comes with a cost attached; thirdly, learning to think critically about what other people tell them. The introductory question to the class is to ask them to write down if there are any places they would like to go and why those places seem more exciting than where they live presently; this..."

From the Paper
"Suggested Student Assessment. Because the media framing analysis is a highly subjective process, students will be requested to defend their respective positions on a given news account in the form of an essay that will be assessed on the basis of how well it takes into account the various media framing structural dimensions in supporting its position."
"Extending the Lesson. When students identify an issue that is particularly interesting to them, they would refine and extend its concepts through a WebQuest approach that uses a free Web site account. WebQuests have become increasingly popular in recent years for this purpose, and these become a "work in progress" that students continue to contribute to as additional research is completed and more news accounts become available."

Abstract
The author feels that the Crayola' website, which has hundreds of lessons plans for all age groups, can be used almost exclusively as a source of lesson plans, ranging from science to pop art to multicultural and classical art styles. The paper describes the "Abstract Animals" lesson, very fitting for third graders, which teaches kids how to use simple shapes and colors to draw animals and other objects after the style of more modern representational artists. The author uses this lesson plan within a comprehensive interdisciplinary art curriculum that teaches about the relevance of art within its social and historical setting.
From the Paper
"The third section is called "Directions," and for a change is precisely what it claims to be. The directions for this lesson are, in short, to show the children images of various animals and forms and to use tracing paper to draw simple geometric shapes over the forms. (For example, an elephant's head would be a circle with two large ovals for the ears and a long thin oval for the trunk.) Subsequently these designs are redrawn with marker on construction paper and colored in with chalk."
