Grade: 9 Lesson Title: Self Portraits Lesson 3 Class 3 Lesson Duration: 75 Minutes
Overview of lesson
In this class students will be continuing to work on their self-portrait projects. They have a planning sheet and once
they feel ready to start they can. They are allowed to use the materials at the back of the room and watercolour paint.
I will also have paper pre-cut for them and leave paper at the front of the room for them to grab. (Remind them to
wear masks while walking). Students have been encouraged to use more than one type of material. In this class I will
lay out what the learning objectives are and talk to the class how they think they should be assessed. Once I have
done this I will move on to guided drawing to warm up for the class. After this, students will be free to work on their
self-portraits. At the end of the class I will give the student san exit slip. I will give each student a sticky note and they
will answer the question What aspects of your self-portrait are going to express who you are? Once they answer this
question they will hand it in to me. Then they can clean up their desks and get ready to sanitize and leave.

Lesson Procedures
Introduction/ Review (5 minutes):
Review with the class what we did last week. We have been talking about self and identity. We decided that identity is
who you are and how you express yourself. Many students have begun working on their self portraits and many are
also finishing up their planning sheets.
