I'd like to see the rubric and lesson plan.

Thanks,

[run by Lorie Topinka and Diane T. Sands from the California Academy of
Sciences]. We did a great warm-up where we sketched a partner without
looking at our papers as we sketched. This exercise then lead into further
sketches and illustration exercises using natural objects, with a good
rubric [developed by Laurie Topinka]. I think this warm-up exercise might
make a great short lesson. If you would like to see the rubric I can
forward it to you as an attachment. However, we didn't apply the rubric on
the first sketch - we used it for the more detailed later sketches.

scientific illustrations to show my students, then used this series of
exercises and found them to be a great way to get the students beyond basic
[poor] line drawing. Their attention to detail improved as well as their
drawings. I intend to use it as my opening unit next year. Maybe we could
have this as a Saturday workshop!!
