Turtles by 2nd Grade

Lesson obj:   line, shape,  pattern, & color. I made 8 templates of each turtle. See below.  Students picked the one they wanted and traced it on a 9X11 drawing paper.  We then began a direct drawing activity to add lines and shapes on the back of the turtle.  I suggested using 3 colors in a rotated pattern -an ABC pattern. Another suggestion was to use a monochromatic color scheme- using mostly blues/greens.  On the outside edge I showed them how to add a kind of graphic bubble.  We also added semi-circle u-shapes to the turtle legs. Sharpies and crayons, and watercolor markers were used.  Bobby from Tennessee - the email never came in?
