    horseplay with the scissors

    Assessment Methods

    I will explain the purpose of open mind


    portraits and when it is best to use them in

    I will hand out a copy of the excerpt of
    Peter Pan and remind students to pay
    attention to character traits of Peter Pan
    I will read out loud while the students
    follow along.
    After weve read, students will begin to
    work quietly on their open mind portraits

    - Thumbs up; thumbs down: I


    will ask the students to give me
    a thumbs up if they understand,
    or a thumbs down if they need
    me to explain it again. (I will
    do this after I explain the
    assignment, and again after I
    read the excerpt)
    - observe while they build their
    open mind portraits to ensure
    everyone is understanding/do
    they look confused? Are they

    but must use their inside voices


    Once everyone is finished with their open
    mind portraits they can begin to discuss and
    share their ideas with a partner

    whispering to their friend


    asking for help? Can they
    come up with some character
    traits?
    - observation also allows me to
    ensure they are using the art
    materials properly and
    maintaining an appropriate
    noise level

    students, make many to understand how a
    character develops over time
    How can open mind portraits be used more
    effectively for the next book you read?
    how could you apply this to a novel?

    - How can you apply this to a childrens book


    - What if there are no descriptions of character

    participating in the discussion
    and who is not. Ensuring
    everyone is included and
    joining in the conversation.
