I did this with my Year 3 class and their elephants turned out beautiful. We began by reading the story "A Pair of Twins" which is a gorgeously illustrated picture book about a little girl who wants to ride her elephant in the Dussehra Festival in Mysore, India (which is considered a man's job). It is such a lovely book and even I learned lots of new words (howdah, mahout). The children really enjoyed this and I like that it links into literacy, history and geography.
To bring even more authenticity to it we mixed Indian spices into the paint (cumin, turmeric, paprika, garam masala).
Included:
Lesson plan
Elephant tracers
Powerpoint x2
Photographs of finished art/display

Thanks for sharing. Like the previous reviewer, I too wonder if you might upload the plan for lesson 2.
Thanks so much for this lovely resource - what a wonderful idea! Just wanted to kindly ask if there is a full page for Plan 2 of the Lesson plan, as just a small part seems to appear? Many thanks :)
