Write up your arts integration unit to span five days. It does not have to be a lesson plan. Explain what you will do on each day and weave the fine arts and classroom subjects together into a cohesive whole. Upload it to the Assignments in Canvas.

Present your project to your peers on the date and time we choose to present for the final exam. Your presentation may include a PowerPoint or a pdf for us to look at during your presentation. The presentation will take 5-7 minutes.

Note: This assignment will require you to do a little bit of research. Refer to previous arts integration units on art, music, drama/theater, and movement/dance for ideas. Do not be afraid to bring in outside resources. Literally, think outside the box for this assignment. Make it fun and interactive as well as education for you and your students. Remember: Arts Education is a Whole-Brained, Student-Centered, Active, Exploratory, and Creative Process. Focus on the process and not the product.
