Instructional Ideas

• Take some time to read the biography together, and use this as an opportunity to practice language arts skills; learners can mark the text or share interesting facts with partners

Classroom Considerations

• You will need to provide magazines or other materials for learners to cut apart for the collage activity
• You may decide that students should complete the collage on a larger piece of paper; there isn't much space included here

Pros

• The reading passage is clear and covers the basics of Picasso's life
• Sample works of art are paired with the biography

Cons

• None
