- STEP 1: Prompt. Ask students what makes a telling sentence and what makes an asking sentence (punctuation, inflection, how it begins, etc)
- STEP 2: Share. Provide students with an example of a piece of art. Ask students to reflect on whether the work is telling something or asking something. Ask: what makes you say that?
- STEP 3: Explore. What evidence or qualities are available in a composition that indicate what the artist is trying to convey? Use this as an opportunity to discuss technique, elements and connections.
- STEP 4: Practice. Using the examples from before, ask students to share how they might respond to the question or the statement posed by the artist in the same medium.
- STEP 5: Create. Students create their own asking or telling composition.
