Literary Sculpture Lesson

On November 20th Mikaela and Laura taught their lesson on literary sculptures. They had each student choose a book then use additive and subtractive processes to transform the book. They told the class they could use a line from the book to illustrate, they could take something from the overall idea or the title of the book. I thought this was a great lesson but one suggestion could be to give the class more objects and supplies to add to the book. Plus while cutting out an image and folding it upwards is a transformative process it is not additive or subtractive so to resolve this issue they could have not required the class to add or subtract from the book or on the other had make it a requirement and show in your demo ways to add and subtract.

Here are the teachers samples that were shown to the class.
