  1. Look at the Revolutionary War artwork.
  2. Find an example of negative space.  (My observation: an easy example is the Join or Die poster)\
  3. Can you find an example of negative space?  (My observations:  how about the architecture along the top of the signing of the Declaration or in the dark spaces in the King George III painting)

REVIEW
  1. Look at textures used in art.
  2. Look at these paintings and drawings. What textures do you see?
    • fruit
    • kitten
    • paper
    • cans
    • water
    • Van Gogh  These are different. It is not trying to emulate the real texture of an object. Van Gogh used brush strokes to create texture marks on his painting, making it much more interesting. (Scroll down to his paintings.)

Jan Week 3: “No More Kings” George Washington, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere
Jan 23 THURSDAY: 

Activity 1: Continental Congress reading comprehension and worksheet

Activity 2: Paul Revere’s Ride

Students will recite the stanzas they memorized, and we’ll discuss what we like about the poem and what was misleading. Each student will then make an interactive 3-D map.  You can find the lesson plan (which is excellent) and all of the materials to print in the book Interactive 3-D Maps: American Revolution.  The map allows you to teach about Paul Revere’s life, as well as the ride.  

Activity 3: “The Shot Heard Round the World” 

We’ll watch “Shot Heard ‘Round The World.”  After watching it we’ll discuss why people call the battles at Lexinton and Concord the shot heard ’round the world.   I’ll read them the beginning of the Emerson poem “Concord Hymn,” which is the origin of the phrase.  We’ll talk about why no one could have used that phrase until decades later.
fill out worksheet for Shot Heard Around the World from teacherspayteachers we will save the second page (NO MORE KINGS) for later lessons
