What declarative knowledge should be in the process of acquiring & integrating? As a result of the unit, the student will know or understand…

What experiences or activities will be used to help students acquire & integrate this knowledge?

What strategies will be used to help students construct meaning, organize and/or store the knowledge?

Describe what will be done.

Concept:

1. The characteristics of salon operation and the advantages and disadvantages of each. 

Concept:

2. A required inventory list to include critical equipment needed to operate a successful salon.

3. A required inventory list to include critical supplies needed to operate a successful salon.

4. The characteristics of specialty areas that may be included in the salon layout.

5. A required color scheme to include - types and color of walls, flooring, and furniture for all areas of the salon.

1. Use of Venn diagram to categorize characteristics of salon operations

2. Students working in collaborate groups will brainstorm equipment needed for all areas in the salon

3. Students working in group pairs will create a supply inventory list needed for all areas included in salon layout.

4. Students working in small groups will brainstorm specialty areas that may be included in salons

 5. Pair groups will determine their color scheme according to requirements put forth by State Board and using color harmony from one area to another.

1a. KWL strategy

1b. Small group will brainstorm some characteristics of salon operations

1c. As a class, students will go on a Field Trip to three area salons that represent the different salon operations and compare their list of advantages and disadvantages with what is viewed and questions asked of salon owners.

2. Large group will construct graphic organizer for each area of salon with equipment needed.

3. Pair groups will use their list to develop a graphic organizer for each area of the salon.

4. KWL Strategy

5. KWL Strategy

1a. Using the K (what I already know) of the KWL strategy, the students will brainstorm and list what they know about salons that they have seen. Using an overhead, the students will volunteer to begin a list on a transparency.

1b. Using the transparency list, in small groups the students will then put the characteristics under the heading of advantage or disadvantage under the headings of open, closed or combination style of operation.

 2. Students will explore and compare their list of equipment with school salon as a model, checking off items and adding any missed items.

3. The pair groups will then explore and compare their list with the school salon as a model, adding any missing items.

4. Using the KWL strategy the students will list specialty areas they have experienced or seen.

 5. Using the KWL strategy the students will list the color requirements for areas of the salon and with pair groups choose their scheme.

What procedural knowledge will students be in the process of acquiring & integrating? As a result of this unit, students will be able to:

Obtain a basic knowledge of how and where to use fractions, decimals, ratio, proportion, measurement, conversions, area, percents, equations, geometry, and application of these concepts

What will be done to help students construct models, shape & internalize the knowledge?

Math lessons on these topics will be done as a push-in. Students will complete bookwork and worksheets on these topics to reinforce basic understanding of these concepts.

Students will complete various mini-projects on the math topics. 

Describe what will be done.

Mini-Projects:

• Students are given a list of several items in the room. They begin by making an estimate of the measurement of each item. Then they measure the item with a measuring tape and compare their estimates.
• Students are given a blueprint of the school and are posed with the question: How can we find the actual measurement of the Cafeteria without leaving this room? (Cosmetology room). Students should measure the cosmetology room and cafeteria on the blueprint, then measure the cosmetology room in actual and set up a proportion.
• Students are given various products in differing quantities with prices per group. Students must decide which group is the best buy.

What knowledge will students be extending and refining? Specifically, they will be extending and refining their understanding of…

What reasoning process will they be using?

Describe what will be done.

 1. The operation styles of salons to include open, closed, and combination.

2. The layout of a salon to include all areas of operations including specialty areas.

3.The equipment and supplies needed in each area of the salon layout

 4. Setting up and solving ratios and proportions

 Comparing

Classifying

Error Analysis

Constructing Support

 1. Using a Venn diagram and working in-groups, students will brainstorm and list how open, closed and combination salons compare and contrast as to aesthetics, space required, and expense.

2. Working in-groups students will brainstorm and come up with specialty areas that may be found in a salon and classify them as a full service, single service salon, or as a day spa.

3. Using a graphic organizer for each area of salon to be used in the layout, students will brainstorm and classify equipment and supplies critical for each area.

4. Given a salon layout with several errors the students will be able to find the mistakes and correct them.

5. Using a list of advantages and disadvantages students will construct support for their reasons for choosing an open, closed, or combination style of operation through observations made on a field trip and questions asked of salon owners.

Step 1

What knowledge will students be using meaningfully? Specifically, they will be demonstrating their understanding of and ability to …………

Step 2

What reasoning process will they be using

Step 3

Describe student’s products and performances and the criteria for evaluation.

Students will choose a partner and together using their Venn diagram of advantages and disadvantages, along with their observations from the field trip, they will decide what type of salon operation they will use in designing their own salon.

[ x ] Decision Making

(selecting from seemingly equal alternatives or examining the decisions of others)

Product / Performances

• Venn Diagram
• Observations from field trip
• Best suits their needs
• Optimal flow of operations

Criteria for evaluation

Students will summaries their decision in style of operation according to their wants, needs, advantages, disadvantages, and observations on field trip.

Students will demonstrate their decision in their salon design.

The students will be given the Salon Design and Class Participation Rubrics.

Step 1

What knowledge will students be using meaningfully? Specifically, they will be demonstrating their understanding of and ability to …………

Step 2

What reasoning process will they be using

Step 3

Describe student’s products and performances and the criteria for evaluation.

Students will meaningfully use all knowledge of fractions, decimals, percents, measurement, conversions, ratios, proportions, equations

[x] Invention process

(developing a product to provide a unique solution to an unmet need)

Purpose: Design a salon which meets all state requirements and is aesthetically pleasing to create smooth flow of operation. Order all equipment and supplies and place them correctly in the salon.

Product: A to scale blueprint of the salon

Revise: Evaluate product against criteria. Draw it up, look at it, revise it (2^nd draft)

Meets standard: Final product-blueprint on CAD
