Beyond+the+Classroom+Assignment



For the assignment you are going to create a portable art experience that could be sent home from school with a 3 - 9 year-old child to teach an art concept (see Arts Standards). Bring in the actual supplies in a book bag, lunchbox, paper bag, gallon sized plastic freezer bag, etc. with printed instructions for adults or older siblings to follow with the young child. Of course if your Beyond the Classroom Project involves something big, messy, or perishable, please do NOT include that in this prototype. For example, put in a plastic egg or a picture of an egg, or a supply checklist instead of a reall had boiled egg! Explain to the family why you're asking them to do this, what's in it for the child, etc. and how you (and they) can tell if the child has learned from the experience. I would organize the write-up by What, So What and Now What, but that's up to you.
