Prior Knowledge: Students should have a basic understanding of art room critiques and how
they typically work. Additionally, students should understand general academic art language,
such as the elements and principles of design, and be able to apply this lingo to their peers and
their personal work. In addition, the students should be able to recognize the composition and
the impact it has on the viewer and be able to elaborate on their ideas and defend new ones.
Central Focus: Understanding how to properly critique your own and others classmates work in
an academic yet artistic manor.

Academic Language
1. Language Function—one LF essential for students to develop & practice. Use
Standard and Objective action verbs, e.g. analyze, compare/contrast, interpret.
One language function that is essential for students to develop and practice is how to critique
their peers work while remaining both informative and constructive in all responses. I will show
the students how to properly use the language for the critique by modeling both good and bad
examples of things they can write. They will then use this by applying the language function to
their sticky notes.

3. Discourse OR Syntax:
I will help to develop a student’s syntax by having them write out one praise and one “ponder’
on a sticky note. Before I set them free, I gave them explicit instructions to think about the
elements and principles of design while writing these critiques. I also spoke to them about being
respectful and writing statements that are helpful and not hurtful. I believe this will help develop
their sytax because I gave them options and set ups for how to phrase their critiques.
Students will practice using this language function by actively writing down each of their
critiques, using the proper language that I will have just demonstrated in front of the class.
