Students will be able to express their creativity and recognize that they can make their mark confidently without worrying about “getting it perfect” by going through the process of designing and constructing a 3- dimensional dot that will be transformed into a hot air balloon to honor the anniversary of International Dot Day that occurs every September 15th. Peter H. Reynold’s book “The Dot” has a powerful message of creativity, bravery and potential to inspire the students and help them see that they are part of a giant effort to make the world a better place by encouraging others to reach their full potential. They will learn to differentiate the concepts of two-dimensional art verses three-dimensional art. We will have a discussion mirroring the main character’s Vashti’s questioning of her confidence with drawing concerning if they have ever felt that they were not good at something and how can they overcome it. We will discuss the meaning of encouragement and how that helps to propel us and the snowball effect of encouraging others to spread confidence. A learning objective, subject summary and application in real life, materials needed for each student and the step by step directions needed to create this lesson are all detailed in each of my lesson plans.
