Purpose/Objective - What
skill(s) are you developing in For this activity, the students will be practicing their creativity
this lesson? What do you want by making their own pokemon cards, pretending that they have
students to practice, or be able all been turned into pokemon themselves. By using higher level
to do? thinking skills, they will create their own stats (strengths,
attacks, weaknesses, etc.) based on who they are as
individuals.

On pages 227-228, Cornett (2015) talks about visual art
promoting confidence in being unique as well as high level
thinking. These concepts are being applied by allowing
students to really exercise their creativity by making their
Pokemon unique, special, and almost reminiscent of
themselves. Students are encouraged to engage in high level
thinking by being told to be purposeful with their drawing
(What is the purpose for the color you choose to color your
pokemon? etc.).

Materials Needed- (What Host:

Step-by-Step Plan-(What
exactly do you plan to do in
teaching this lesson? Be
thorough. Act as if you needed a
substitute to carry out the
lesson for you.)
Where applicable, be sure to
address the following:
How will materials be
distributed?
How will students
transition between activities?
What will you as the
teacher do?
What will the students do?
What student data will be
collected during each phase?
What are other adults in the
room doing? How are they
supporting students learning?
What model of co-teaching
are you using?
1. Introduce activity
a. So today we are going to be doing something
exciting and I know some of you will love. We
will be turning into Pokemon today!
b. So imagine that you are a Pokemon, I want
you to think about what your strengths would
be, your weaknesses, and what kind of attacks
your pokemon will be able to do.
2. I will then show them my example of my own pokemon
a. This is what my pokemon looks like. It has
wings because I think it would be pretty cool to
fly...etc.
3. Before the student begin, tell them As you are
drawing your pokemon, think about why you decided
to give your pokemon the characteristics you chose.
Ex: Why did you color your pokemon green? Or why
did you decide to give your pokemon wings and not
claws?
4. Give students time to self reflect and think about what
they want their pokemon to be.
5. Pass out the materials
6. As students are creating their pokemon, walk around
the room and push in if you see any students
struggling or needing help.
7. Once everyone is finished, ask for volunteers to share
their pokemon with the class.
Differentiation-How did you
engage in differentiation
between different grade levels?
Make connections to
differentiation by content,
process, and product?
Evaluation--How will you
know your students have met
your purpose/objective?
Back-up SEED Activities from
Cornett Text
Please list and write a brief
description of SEED activities
(including page number from
text) you can use if you finish
your block early, have time
during transitions, etc. **Please
note these activities can be
used across several day.
Older students could create their own written stories for their
pokemon in addition to drawing, that shows who their pokemon
is in action.
Younger students would require less extensive/complex
instruction, and could also do away with including any sort of
written stats unique to their pokemon and to just stick with the
illustration.
Students will have met the objective if it is evident that they put
in thought and effort into their creations, and would be able to
provide explanations filled with intent behind their chosen
pokemon characteristics.
1. Balloon Balance or Bust (pg. 437)
a. Small groups join hands and form a circle.
Each group receives a balloon, and the object
is to keep it in the air without dropping hands.
2. Buddy Walk (pg. 438)
a. Pairs lean back to back against each other.
First they silently walk around. Then they try to
sit on the floor and rise up again. The activity
can also be done side to side.
Reflection Notes-- What was
effective about your step-by-
step plan? What might need to
be adjusted in your step-by-
step when using this plan in the
future?
This activity went awesome! I am glad I picked this activity
because earlier on the week some students mentioned doing
something involving pokemon so I am glad that we did. The
students loved the idea of creating their own pokemon card
and balls. I felt that it really helped them work on their creativity
because they had to figure out what their pokemon would look
like and what their strengths and weaknesses were going to
be. An adjustment I would make to this activity would have
been to create a pokemon myself to show as an example for
the students. I believe that it wouldve helped the students have
a better understanding of what to do by seeing a visual rather
than me explaining without one.
