Cooperative Learning | Syllabus Solved

What does one do when older students want to take responsibility for signing my class syllabus, but  don't read it to fully understand it? Well, I being the Jedi Master that I am, created an activity. The students would gain an understanding of my course and my expectations. "Contextural understanding, assessment and reflection in visual arts - an apprentice you will be! Math and cooperative learning you shall use! Pow! That's how my Lightsaber works.
I almost unconsciously integrate history, mathematics, science and literature daily in my visual art lessons. I firmly believe that one cannot separate the so-called "core subjects" from art. In this situation, I chose an artist whom the students could relate to -- Jean Michel Basquiat, he is perhaps one of the representative artists who made the transition from street art to canvas. I printed "Trumpet" from his website poster-sized. I broke down parts of the syllabus and pasted them on the back. Then, I drew puzzle shapes, and laminated the poster board for durability. Finally, I cut out the puzzle pieces. I wanted to observe the students working collaboratively, and research suggests that puzzles improve math, science and technology skills.  At last I had the satisfaction that I now know that the students really read my class syllabus.
