Bubble Sketch Model

Part of Lesson Plan: Bubble Sketch House Plan

Activity Overview / Details

I will instruct the students on the different rooms that are in a house (living, kitchen, bathroom, dining, bedrooms, etc.) and their importance to the final design. I will model a bubble sketch on the white board while continually calling on students for their input on the on the working plan.

The crayon is important to the lesson because it is harder to manipulate than a pencil and will consume more space. I constantly encourage the students to use the entire sheet of paper for 1 plan. This also helps them to see a their design as a developing plan and something they have created. These drawings will be entered into their classroom portfolio that will maintained throughout the school year.
