Essential question: What properties does watercolor have over other mediums.   
 How will we know if they’ve learned it? 
Students will have a painting of various botanical photos composed of the various techniques learned from the previous intro lesson.
What will we do if they don’t learn it?
Students will be re-taught and can utilized videos to re-work missing elements of their assignment. 
 What will we do if they have / have already learned?
Students can always go above and beyond the instructions to create a more challenging experience. 
My students understand and can… by the end of the lesson
Have the knowledge and skills to move to the next assignment
