LTC 4240: Art for Children
Grade Level*: 3rd Grade

Lesson Title & Big Idea*: The Underground Railroad


Connecting Past to Present: Connecting the Underground Railroad and the use of freedom quilts as symbols to
unite as a class to campaign against bullying.
Lesson Overview/Summary*: (This is like an abstract of the structure and procedures section)
In this lesson students will be integrating art and design, literacy, and social studies. Students will start by
learning about the Underground Railroad and the purpose and meaning behind the freedom quilts and symbols.
To do this, I will read the book, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson. We will then have a
discussion summarizing what we learned about freedom quilts from the story and I will make sure students
understand the purpose behind them. I will then explain to them about the symbols used and show using
technology the meaning behind the symbols. It will be emphasized that these quilts were used as a symbol of the
fight against slavery. The discussion will then be lead in the direction of how as a class, can we use symbols on
quilts to fight against an injustice in our school. For example: bullying. Students will end the day and go home
with the assignment to think of a way to fight against bullying and a symbol that represents that. The next day
students will be asked to help compile a class list of all of their symbols and their meanings. They then will
create using construction paper and craft supplies a physical example of their quilt with their symbol. The last
class period will be dedicated to writing a paragraph explaining their quilts meaning and how it will help our
class in the fight against bullying.

Instructional Strategies (Teachers approach to helping students


achieve learning)
Teacher will need to have background knowledge on the Underground
Railroad and do research on how freedom quilts played a role in that.
This knowledge will be used to lead the class discussion and teach
students the purpose behind the activity. The teacher also needs to
research bullying in schools and understand particularly how they can
help fight against bullying in their own school.

Opening (Gaining Attention, what will you show, or demonstrate)*:
Opening activity will be reading the book, Sweet Clara and the

time, the meaning of their own created symbol, how the meaning
behind the symbol will help fight against bullying in their school. If

students include all the criteria for each specific point in well thought
out answers than they will receive full credit. Answers need to be
meaningful and specific.
What student prior knowledge will this lesson require/draw upon? (what do they need to already know)
Students need to have background knowledge on slavery and vocab including abolitionists and slaves. They also need to know what bullying is
and what it looks like in the school.
Technology Instructional and/or assistive technology incorporated into the lesson to enhance instruction and student learning
Technology included in this lesson includes a smart board for showing students examples of historical freedom quilts.
How will this lesson allow for/encourage students to solve problems in divergent ways?
This lesson encourages students to problem solve in divergent ways by allowing them to identify a problem and then let them come up with a
solution on their own. They will then design a symbol to fight against this problem to share with others to raise awareness to the problem. This
way of problem solving is probably different than problem solving they have done in the past.
How will you engage students in routinely reflecting on their learning? (How will the students know they have learned something?)
Students will know they have learned something when writing their ending paragraph and when sharing their symbol and meaning with the class.
Differentiated/Accommodations/Modifications/Increase in Rigor To help meet the needs of all learners, learning differences, cultural and
language differences, etc.
To help meet the needs of all students, the expectations outlined on the rubric will be graded based on individual student skill. For example, based
on content vs grammar and punctuation and if I can tell a student tried their best.
Accommodations for students might include being able to work with a partner to write their paragraph and design symbol. This will help students
who will struggle with the writing component.

Art Integration Lesson Plan Template

For students with cultural or language differences I will try to find a translation of the read aloud book in their L1 language. I will also let them
write their paragraph in their own language or will let them work with a student so that it is easier for them.
