Step Number	Step Title	Length (min)	Details
1	Introduction to the Topic	5	Briefly introduce the concept of hybrid animals and show examples of cardboard sculptures. Discuss the objectives of the lesson.
2	Planning the Sculpture	5	Students sketch their ideas for their hybrid animal sculptures. Discuss materials they will use and how to combine animal features.
3	Cutting and Assembling	15	Students begin cutting out pieces from cardboard and assembling their sculptures. Teachers circulate to assist and encourage creativity.
4	Decoration	5	Allow time for students to paint or draw on their sculptures. Discuss color choices and artistic expression.
5	Reflection and Feedback	5	Students share their sculptures in pairs and discuss their process. Collect homework reflections without presentations.

Homework

• Students will write a short reflection (1-2 paragraphs) on their hybrid animal sculpture experience, focusing on what they learned about 3D art and any challenges they faced. This will be submitted at the next class without a presentation format.

Assessment

• Informal assessment of participation during the lesson.
• Review of homework reflections to assess understanding and engagement with the lesson topic.
