Lesson Plan on Pablo Picasso
Art, Creative Arts, Art History, Fine Arts, Biographies, Social Studies, Not Grade Specific, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Pablo Picasso was among the most impactful artists of the 20th century. He is recognized for co-founding the Cubist movement, creating constructed sculpture, co-inventing collage, and for the diverse range of styles that he contributed to and examined. For approximately 80 of his 91 years, Picasso dedicated himself to creating art that played a crucial role in the overall progress of modern art during the 20th century, especially through the creation of Cubism (alongside artist Georges Braque) around 1907. Picasso is often regarded as THE genius of the twentieth century. Possibly more than any other artist, he transformed the course of art, initiating the modernist movement. He was an innovator of Cubism, subsequently of collage art, and eventually neo-classicism. This lesson plan centers around the artwork of Pablo Picasso. Numerous activities are provided, arranged in two worksheets. Their answers are provided in the end. Six of his most famous works are also included.

Do you want your students in grades 5-7 to learn how to become global citizens who can respect a variety of cultural norms and comprehend cross-cultural differences? Are you looking for a fun way to bring all of these ideas to life? Check out this ready-to-go lesson for your class. This 5-Page PDF is ready to print for your social studies classroom. It includes clear teacher instructions for a fun class simulation where half of your students will act out a new "class norm" (five options are provided such as not raising your hand to ask a question) that the other half of your class won't be expecting. While the simulation is happening, everyone will be working on a three page reading comprehension task . Students will read about cultural norms from around the world (slurping noodles when eating in Japan or nodding one's head to say "no" in Bulgaria). They will imagine how not knowing about the cultural norms in a place where they are travelling could lead to accidental misunderstandings. Students are also taught a simple definition of the concept of stereotypes, and they will think of how they are different from cultural norms. Finally, there is a 1-page reflection with prompts- perfect for after a class discussion. Teacher Instructions: 1. Split your class in two and talk to only one half. 2. Tell them that they will have a new “class cultural norm.” Pick one from the provided ideas. 3. When the whole class is reunited, pass out the reading page & worksheets. Students read about cultural norms and answer the questions. 4. As they work, the selected half will enact their new norm, which will confuse the other half of the class. 5. Once the point has been made, let the other half in on the secret. 6. Have a discussion about cultural norms and give students time to write a reflection about this lesson.

Unions, strikes, negotiations, and the like can cause big ripples in communities across the country. This engaging case study places students at the heart of a contentious union negotiation-- with the threat of a garbage collectors strike right around the corner! The simulation takes place in the city of Cleantopia. The Waste Pros Union, representing the city's garbage collectors, are entering negotiations with the City Sanitation Department for a new contract. The current fleet of garbage trucks is aging, and many lack functioning air conditioning, leading to safety concerns and worker discomfort, as well. At the forefront of the negotiations is pay, though. Since their last contract, inflation has risen dramatically. As a result, workers feel very underpaid compared to their counterparts in other cities. In this activity , student groups (Union management, workers, and city sanitation department) will negotiate with each other and fight the clock for an agreeable contract. The groups will debate on the following fronts: Pay : Workers want a 15% raise; the city offers 3% Working Conditions : Workers demand modernized trucks with functioning air conditioning Overtime : Union wants time-and-a-half for overtime; city wants to maintain current flat rate Paternity Leave : Workers request 8 weeks of paid paternity leave; city currently offers 2 weeks What will they settle on? Will the union call for a strike? Will the city look to replace its workers? What will the public think? Questions like these and more will help learning come to life with this simulation. Included with this product is: A well designed class slide show that introduces the topic of unions, and walks students through the activity as well A teacher guide that allows you to quickly understand the simulation and the instructions that each group is getting.
