Objectives:
Given basic materials, students create their own Ooglie Googlies, and move on to
brainstorming and sketching their ride inventions.
Assessment Criteria:
Students will creatively create their Ooglie Googlies in the allowed time. Students should then
be able to have time to then brainstorm ideas for their ride and start their inventive ride.

Conclusion:
Ask students the different types of lines they used on their Ooglie Goolies. Ask the students
what they learned about Matisse (for amusement park assignment). Let students share their
Ooglie Googlies and ideas for their rides.
Critical Comments and Reflections:
Next time I teach this lesson I want to put the book away after the introduction, unless a student finishes
early. I found that leaving the book out during the lesson proved to be a distraction. The book was still
successful in getting the students excited to make their Ooglie Googlies. They worked quickly through
the lesson and all of the students were in a hurry to get their googlie eyes glued on. Next time I want to
use two hot glue guns so that my helper and myself can both glue the eyes on. This way there will be
less kids standing around in the future.
