Read your writing to your  partner?

Now view photograph of the Torosians at Farmers market.

What are they doing? What makes you think that?

 

Let's watch a video about the Ferry Market in Sanfrancisco, where the Torosians take their fruit to sale. 

 

Now let's look at the painting by Jeff Wamgubu and see if your ideas change or if you notice anything new?  

 

 If  you were at the market what fruit woul you choose to paint and why?

 

How does Jeff Wambugu's art help us know about his place and his people?

 

Students will answer and ask questions to demonstrate understanding of key details in images, 

Let's Investigate!

How do farmers in the "Central Valley," grow our food?

What produce is unique to our valley?

 

How  did the master artists Jeff Wambugu. Diego Rivera and Vincent Van Gogh portray the farms, farmers, and produce in art?

 

Students create skits about buying and selling fruit at the farmers' market as a way to learn new vocabulary. They use the vocabulary in context which helps them remember the meaning of the words. They perform  for each other.

Guiding Questions for the script writers and audiance were the following:

·                   What is the main idea of the skit? 

·                   How does the writers, actors support and show  ideas?

·                   What is the skits purpose?

·                   Who is the  intended audience?

·                   What is the feeling between the producers and consumers?

Creating Art Work"

 

Students will create a still life drawing of fruit grown in the Central Valley. 

 

Continued Work

 

 

Students will also use their still life drawing as a spring board for writing exploring plant life cycles, and relationships between farm and community.

 

The understanding gained from farm and plant research will fuel the creation of the folk tale, or fable.

 

The art and stories will be exhibited during the week of parent teacher conference.
