Drawing Quotes: An Engagement Reflection Activity

• This activity asks students to reflect on a quote from Jane Goodall and create a piece of artwork to reflect the quote. 
• Students can choose from one of four inspiring quotes about taking action. 

Positives

• This activity will work for students at any ability level and can be scaffolded accordingly. 
• Dr. Goodall's quotes are varied and can be interpreted in several ways, which will make for a great variety of art. 
• The resource provides example artwork from students and artists. 

Additional Prerequisites

• Teachers will need art supplies such as posters, markers, crayons, pencils, paint, scissors, magazines, photos, and glue for this activity.
• Teachers may want to discuss the word "apathy"  for students to understand one quote. 

Differentiation

• Although this is an art activity, it could be used in a science or social studies class while studying conservation or Dr. Jane Goodall. 
• Once students have created their artwork, display them around the room and have students complete a gallery walk. Provide students with post-its and have them leave positive feedback for their peers. 
• Several excellent extensions are suggested in the resource, including creating photo collages, journaling about the quotes, and creating comic strips.
