DANCE FOR LEARNING’S SAKE! ASHLEY MUSHAMBA
Kick it up a notch with your teaching! Teach your students to dance for learning’s sake! During this session participants use dance to explore, teach, measure, and assess student understanding of Tennessee Literature standards. We will use Verna Aardema’s, “Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People’s Ears,” to make literature connections and create a mini-showcase which can be used as a performance assessment in your classroom. Come learn to dance, and dance to learn! Room D112
“STORY IN A MAGAZINE” GRAMMAR AND INTERACTIVE STORY THEATRE CHERRI COLEMAN
Who says grammar is boring? Not in this classroom! Inspired by magazine covers illustrated by Norman Rockwell, we will explore the technique of interactive story theatre. We will learn ways to bring adjectives, verbs, and adverbs to life with pantomime, interpret the artist’s work while using plot structure and create a three-dimensional, improvisational story theatre performance based on the artwork. Always a blast but seldom predictable, this method was originally devised for the Frist Center for the Visual Arts’ Artful Tales program and engages all styles of learning. Lesson plans, connections to curriculum, and expansions to the program are included with the workshop. Come dressed to move and prepared to have fun. Room D113 27
