Learning Resources Consulted


Resource #1: To plan this lesson, the Alberta Program of Studies was first utilized to develop goals
within the lesson, and ensure validity and reliability in the student learning within the lesson.
Resource #2: Pieces of art work created by Ted Harrison were consulted during the creation. His art

work was consulted and then chosen to introduce students to detail and emphasis.
Resource #3: An online stop watch was being utilized in the planning of this lesson. I chose the stop
watch for my lesson plan to incorporate classroom management and ownership in learning into my
class. This supports my lesson as, the time set aside for the lesson is short, and students need to be
kept on track. I believe that continuously disrupting learning hinders in the learning experience, so I have
incorporated the stop watch to ensure a cohesive learning environment. https://www.online-
