** INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN RATIONAL ** 1. The learning targets in this lesson plan are tied to Social Studies EALR 4: History. It is designed to help the students understand the importance of the Renaissance by examining the art work of Leonardo da Vinci 2. This lesson is designed to build on the previous knowledge the students have learned about art in the Middle Ages, so that they can compare and contrast them with the art styles in the Renaissance. 1. The students will first read a short biography about Leonardo da Vinci in which the will be required to write down key ideas about the reading. 2. The students will then have to compare and contrast art that was popular during the Middle Ages with Leonardo da Vinci's work. The students will accomplish this by filling in a graphic organizer. 1.  By having the students read the biography of Leonardo da Vinci they will be able to understand the role he played in helping create the Renaissance. 2. By having the students compare and contrast Middle Ages art with the work of Leonardo da Vinci, they will be able to "see" how the art changed from one time period to the other. ** Rubric for Leonardo da Vinci Compare and Contrast Assignment ** Student’s Name (9-10) ||  Strong (8) ||  Passing (7) ||  Not Yet (6 or less) || || The organizer included five or more differences and three or more similarities.

**Reflection** I taught this less twice. I felt that it went smoother the second time around. The first time my student's kept having trouble understanding the directions. They were making the assignment more complicated than it was supposed to be. The second class however had no trouble what so ever. This lesson was unusually challenging for me because my master teacher had a sub making the students more inclined to misbehave and more likely to get off task.
