Presentation at NCTE Annual Convention, Chicago
November 18, 2011
What: Workshop: There Is Enough Time in the Day! How “Art-ful” Educators Maximize Meaning Making across the Curriculum.
When: Friday November 18, 11:am-12:15pm
Where: Chicago Hilton / Palmer House, Salon Three, 3rd floor
Join kc dyer, Lee Edward Fodi, Lori Sherritt-Fleming, and myself as we give an interactive demonstration. We show how educators can successfully encourage students to connect ‘artfully’ to cross-curricular outcomes so that teaching literacy is not a separate experience, but rather an assemblage, taught through all subject areas. Quick and easy visual art, drama, dance, and music activities model how an ‘art-full’ day can build a more literate classroom. Writing Levels: Elementary (K-5), Middle (6-8).
