"Good morning, class! Today, we have an exciting lesson focused on the amazing author and artist Kylie Dunstan, known for her creativity with textiles and threads. Have you ever used fabric to create something special? Well, today, we'll explore how we can express ourselves through textile art!
Take a look at some of the samples I have here. (Show samples of textile art.) Do you see the different colors and patterns? Each piece tells a story. Let's think about how we can tell our stories today!"
"Now, let's get ready for a group activity! I’m going to divide you into four groups. Each group will discuss your favourite pieces of textile art from what we just looked at. Think about what you liked about them and what made them special. You have three minutes for this discussion. Remember to listen to each other and share your ideas. I'll be walking around to listen to your conversations. Ready? Let's go!"
"Alright, everyone, now that you’ve shared some great ideas, I have something for you! I’m going to hand out these printable cards. (Distribute the cards.) Each card has instructions for you to fill in. You will need to write down your thoughts about what you’ve learned today, perhaps a description of your favorite art piece or your idea for a textile project.
Take your time and make sure you understand what each section of the card asks for. If you have any questions, just raise your hand!"
"Now, it’s time for some individual reflection. Grab your cards and start writing based on the discussions from your groups and your own ideas. You’ll have two minutes to fill in your cards. Remember, this is about your personal thoughts and creativity, so make it special!
If you need any help or want to share your thoughts with me, feel free to come up!"
"Okay, time's up! I will come around to collect your printable cards now. Just pass them to me when I reach your desk. If you've missed anything or need to finish later, that’s completely fine! I want to make sure everyone gets a chance to express themselves.
(As you collect the cards) I won’t be doing any formal presentations today, but I will read through your thoughts later. Remember, what you created is important, and I look forward to seeing all your creative ideas!"
"Great job today, everyone! I’m really proud of how you all participated. Remember to think creatively and have fun with textiles as we move forward! Have a wonderful rest of your day!"
