a: Hook: Start off the lesson by showing students examples of “kid friendly” sculptures. (Ice, Sand, Statue,
Figurines, Garden, Play Dough)
Set a Purpose for Learning: “Today we are going to learn about the writing process by creating our very own
sculptures. Good writers take steps before they finish their writing.”

b: Instructional Steps
1. Watch BrainPop Jr. - “Sculptures”
2. Discuss Sculpture vocabulary
3. Prewrite: Give students 2 minutes to brainstorm. Ask them to come up with an idea of what they want
to create in their head. Will their sculpture be abstract? Will it be a statue? What will the height be?
What will the texture be?
After the 2 minutes is up students should share their ideas with their table.
4. Rough Draft: Give Students 5 minutes to create a rough draft of their statue.
5. Revise: Give students 3 minutes to revise their sculptures.
6. Edit: Give 3 minutes to make any final changes to their sculpture. What do you need to do to "clean
up" your artwork and make it ready for publishing?
7. Writing: Students write about their creation. They can describe what their sculpture is, what materials
they used, and why they decided to make it this way.
8. Publish: The final step was to "publish" their work & make sure it was ready to share with their peers
in the “Gallery Walk”.
9. Gallery Walk: Students leave their sculpture on their desk for their peers to look at and possibly
comment on. Give each student a couple sticky notes. They may use these to leave a “critique” next
to their classmates work. Play music while students walk around the room to explore.

c: Formative Checks: Teacher should walk the room to assess for understanding during each step of the
writing process and provide assistance and reteaching as needed.

d: Summative Assessment: Teacher will continue to review the steps of the writing process throughout
the year. Eventually students will be able to know and utilize these steps independently during writer’s
workshop time. Student writing will indicate whether or not the writing process was used properly.

e: Closure: Gather/Closure: After the gallery walk meet at carpet to discuss and review the steps of the
writing process and the process of sculpture making.
