- STEP 1: Give all students a blank badge template with a topic you would like to address written in the center (ie: scientific method, reasoning, plot development, etc).
- STEP 2: Share each visual arts element as a station with students. For instance, there is a line station, a color station, a shape station, etc. Explore each element in detail by asking students to show each of these elements in some way as a class.
- STEP 3: At each station, place a key piece of information about the selected topic that students will need to read closely.
- STEP 4: In groups, students will go to each station, read the information, and then create a representation of that information using only the visual art element found at that station. All members of the group will need to collaborate to create the one representation using the element. Students will then transfer their representation onto their badge template.
- STEP 5: Rotate groups to each station until their badges are filled with a representation about the topic using each visual art element.
