I assigned the activity seen below to prepare my students for our trip to a museum, where we looked at artwork created by young artists with disabilities.  The last question on the sheet, "In her/his own words, how does this person use art to help her/him better understand her/his place in the world?"
echoes the first Essential Question of 7th Grade Unit 2, "What is my place in this world?"

Directions:

Ms. Resti is too cheap to pay for someone to teach us about the art we see during our field trip on Nov. 29. Instead, she’s making you the tour guides. You and your groupmates are going to become experts on one of the paintings we are going to see. It will be your job to tell the rest of the students about your assigned painting when we get to the museum. Answer the following questions based on the information that cheap, old Ms. Resti gives you.

What is the name of the artist?___________________________________________

Is it a male or a female?________________________________________________
