A representation of yourself or another done through objects alone. Students will compose a view that captures the essence of a person without the person being present. Everyday items, items that are treasured by the subject or objects that symbolize their relationship to you or others can be used.
Lesson plan
In this tab, you will find a selection of lesson plans. I have included these sample lesson plans to indicate my approach to formative assessment, and differentiation which is embedded in each class lesson.
As the Teacher I select the most appropriate form of formative assessment to aid the development of my students’ work; there are examples of teacher feedback and self-assessment in these lesson plans. However, my formative feedback practice is not limited to these strategies alone..
In the sample lessons provided, I demonstrate a wide range of differentiation methods. These methods are selected based on the diverse needs of the learners before me.
Curriculum plan
My aim for curriculum planning is to provide students with exciting and dynamic concepts on which t base a project. Thus prompting students to genuinely engage with the concept and to begin on a journey of investigation. Through their journey students will be required to question, consider, problem solve and develop; creating original imagery. This approach to curriculum planning allows students to develop critical thinking together with skills acquisition in a wide variety of areas, such as photography, print, painting, animation and ceramics.
​This document outlines my approach to both the junior and senior cycle, including my approach to visual culture.
