Lesson Activities & Procedure(s): 1. We will begin the lesson with 2 VTS discussion guided toward what kinds of journeys are represented in the works of art. One work being The Journey Begins by Daniel Lieske, and a wallpaper painting of a train that has no artist named. 2. Discuss the differences in the perceptions of what a journey is and write down ways that a journey can be represented 3. Students will then draft a narrative of a journey that they have been on in their lives, but the journey must have at least 5 details that they can focus on for the next lesson that they will be making a book in. 4. After their drafts are done, they will be first reviewed by a peer and once the students have worked on their initial review, the teacher should then give it a final review. 5. Once the final review has been given, the students will then begin the editing process. Editing should be checked by the teacher 6. Begin working on their drawings for the next lesson
