LESSON
III - RESPONDING TO THE
VISUAL ARTWORK THROUGH WRITING
1) Students
will respond to the art by writing about
their piece.
They must include three things:
a) Physical
description of the piece (What materials
were used to
create it? What are its features?)
b)
Explanation about its use
(Was it
functional such as furniture or a bowl? Was it
used in
ceremonies?)
c) Explain
why you chose to recreate this piece.
2) Students
will learn how to cite a bibliography
entry for
electronic information:
A Works Cited or References page in a report gives credit to the authors or creators who
originally researched and published the information. There are many tools
online now to help students prepare citations, especially when using
electronic resources such as web pages, audio files, or CD-ROMs.

information in the form fields, click “make citations” and you will have an
MLA citation ready to copy and paste into your project.
