Fairytale Figurines

Grade Level: 4
Duration: 3, 50 minute lessons
Materials: PVA glue, Scissors, fabric remnants, wool, felt, googley eyes, 15cm tall wooden figurine (I bought them from Zart Art in Melbourne), paper/Vvsual diary and grey lead and coloured pencils, several fairy tale picture story books as references.

Lesson 1: Read Roahld Dahl's Revolting Rhymes as a stimulus to the fairy tale theme.
Brainstorm the various characters from familiar fairy tales.

Students then select a fairy tale character- try to make sure no double ups and they create a full colour design/draft in their visual diary.

Lesson 2: Students complete their draft and them begin creation of their figurine. Using PVA, fabric remnants and any other collage materials students creat their own unique fairy tale character.

Lesson 2: Students complete their figurine and then begin their reflections.
Students pair up and conduct interviews.
Asking questions such as:
             Who is your charachter?
             What are you most happy with?
             What did you find challenging? etc...
Students then report back to the whole class or small group (if time is limited) sharing the reflections of their partner. This ensures active listening not just active sharing.
