This Teacher Work Sample includes a unit titled " Let's Get Steampunk'd," taught to the two 4th and 5th grade classes at the Lab School for Creative Learning in Fort Collins. It was developed and taught by three CSU art education student teachers: Kaitlyn Birdsall, Asia Skipp, and Linda Roth. The planning was divided up evenly, and the teaching was divided up with one CSU teacher teaching one classroom, one CSU teacher teaching the other classroom, and the last CSU teaching going between both classes documenting the teaching process. The lesson titles and dates I personally taught are as follows:
UNIT: Let's Get Steampunked!
Lesson 1: Cyborgized
Lesson 2: Mind your Gauges
Lesson 3: Volted and Bolted
Dates I taught/documented at the LAB school are as follows:
