Integrating the Arts Across the Content Areas

By Lisa Donovan and Louise Pascale All Grades

This engaging resource provides arts-based activities to use in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies instruction. Teachers will gain a better understanding of why and how to use the arts to reach and engage students as well as to support the implementation of standards-based instruction.

High school students presenting their movement score documenting the character pathways of Sam Spade (Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion® residency).

Creative Movement in Social Studies Use movement to explore the personal experience of people throughout history; for example, have students embody the emotions of being a slave on the Underground Railroad. Ask students to create a word or phrase with symbolic movement to show particular aspects of a time period, such as the Civil War. Students could create short creative movement pieces about the forces at work during World War II, or the range of emotions triggered by a government policy. “A dance of anger can be explosive…it can be passive anger twisting in on itself and being still and quiet” (Priscilla Harmel, pers. comm.).

Have students use movement to represent processes, such as how an ear of corn makes its way from a farmer’s field to a bowl of cornflakes (Peggy Barnes, pers. comm.) or how mail makes its way from one address to another. Have them create a flow chart and bring the process to life through movement.

Super Storms

By Jodene Smith There are many different types of storms, but two of the most powerful are tornadoes and hurricanes. They different in many ways, but can both be very destructive.

New Level!

Tornadoes A tornado is a bad storm that acts like a huge vacuum. It moves at a high speed. It can go as fast as 31 miles (50 kilometers) per hour. It smashes everything in its path. Tornadoes pick up everything in their paths and drop them far away. Even heavy items like a truck are no match for a tornadoes strength.

By Lori Oczkus and Timothy Rasinski Grades K–8

Tornadoes start as thunderstorms over land.

These huge storms can form supercells, which start to turn. The supercells are huge rainstorms that can have thunder and lightning. They can cause hail and strong winds. Strong winds blow around the storm. The air inside the clouds starts to spin. The spinning winds can touch the ground. Once that happens, it is a tornado.

Hurricanes Each year, hurricanes cause more damage than all other storms combined. Hurricanes start as tropical storms over warm water in late summer or fall. They are rotating storm systems with strong winds and heavy rains. Hurricanes have wind speeds over 75 miles per hour.

Reading

The center of a hurricane is called the eye.

Clouds rush toward it. But they start to spin due to Earth’s rotation. As a result, the eye stays calm.

It has no clouds and no wind.

Reading Purposefully

Literacy Strategies for Today’s Reader

Podcast Listening Activity Listening skills are essential for students in every environment. As citizens in a digital world children will be asked to gather and evaluate information from sources that ask them to listen closely and intently. We are big fans of podcasts since they provide a way for listeners of all ages and abilities to digest information.

In the classroom, podcasts can be used in listening centers, for small-group instruction, or for whole-class activities. You won’t play the same hour-long podcast you listen to on your commute to work, but short audio clips can help students pause and think critically about an idea. Depending on the group of students you are working with and the topics you are exploring, you may choose clips that are geared toward a wide audience or recorded specifically for children.

By Pam Allyn and Monica Burns Grades K–8

Steps for Success: 1. Introduce students to the idea of podcasts as

a way to gather information. You may decide to make connections to your own learning life and share examples of podcasts you listen to.

This popular resource provides strategies to develop Five Habits of Reading: reading widely, reading critically, reading deeply, reading closely, and reading socially. It addresses the blended needs of today's readers, teaching how to read on every platform, in every genre, to become nimble readers ready to navigate any text.

Capturing Multiple Book Title:

Character: Situation :

What would your

this situation?

2. With students, compile a list of things that

strong listeners do. This list may include: finding a comfortable spot to sit, doodling or drawing pictures, being respectful of other listeners, etc.

Why would your

supports your thinking?

Include page or

paragraph numbers.

3. Choose a podcast clip to play for your

class and set a purpose for listening by saying something like, “We are listening to this podcast to learn more about bioluminescence, a topic we explored when reading about marine ecosystems,” or, “Let’s listen to an interview with one of our favorite authors to learn a bit more about her life.” #51696 — 21st

4. For this activity, you may have a set of discussion questions or response

prompts prepared for students to work on with a partner. This will provide accountability for the task and a place for students to record their thinking before having a whole class discussion.

Taking Students Beyond Ordinary Understanding to Deep Comprehension

Llesenia arrives to the classroom nearly an hour before the first bell rings. She has completed all of her homework perfectly, organized her desk in preparation for the day’s lessons, and helps herself to different learning center activities to occupy herself while she awaits the start of school.

Anthony completes math exercises well ahead of his classmates, but he struggles during reading time and usually acts up.

Welcome to Ms. Kwon’s fourth-grade classroom. It could be just about any classroom in America. One of the epiphanies teachers reach within their first week of teaching is how, no matter what, every classroom is filled with students of mixed abilities and interests. Every student is different. This is the challenge all teachers face: how to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student.

In aiding students’ comprehension, teachers can create classrooms that meet state and federal standards and maintain high student expectations by supporting all students’ learning modalities and differentiating through content, activities (i.e., process), and product, based on students’ readiness, interests, profiles of learning, and environments. That can be a lot to remember. A simple mnemonic trick can help teachers always keep differentiation in mind: each student is RIPE for learning when the teacher uses his or her thinking CAP. RIPE stands for readiness, interests, profiles of learning, and environments; CAP stands for content, activities (i.e., process), and product.

Writing Content-Area Writing that Rocks and Works!

Social Media Summaries Background

Procedure for Hashtag Summaries

One way to address the skill of summarizing is by using social media influences. Because many students are fluent in using social media, (hashtags, Instagram®, and/or tweets) Social Media Summaries are engaging ways to get students to interact with content-specific material.

While there are several social media examples for this skill, tweets and Instagram captions are fantastic vehicles for initiating Social Media Summaries. These summaries can be used as hooks for lessons or as the actual product you want students to create.

Benefits • This activity will interest students who like and use social media.

• This activity is informal.

• Students are encouraged to apply their informal communication skills in an academic context.

1. Introduce students to hashtag summaries. Explain the main purpose of a hashtag summary (to summarize the material into a word or a short phrase).

By Rebecca Harper Grades 3–12

2. Model some hashtag summaries.

3. Give students time to think of an overarching hashtag that summarizes the message or main idea of the material taught. The template on page 116 can be used to present students final Hashtag Summaries.

4. Ask students to share their Hashtag Summaries.

5. In a longer unit or lesson, create a classroom display of all hashtags for later use and review.

This unique resource provides teachers with innovative and contemporary strategies to engage students in the writing process. ◗ Helps students develop their writing skills and motivate them to enjoy writing using their interests in technology, social media, and other topics ◗ Includes practical strategies that allow teachers to help their students learn to utilize writing as a tool for processing and understanding content material

Writing Is Magic, Or Is It?

Using Mentor Text to Develop the Writer's Craft

Opinion/Argument Writing During a collaborative meeting of teachers, one first-grade teacher, Debby, explained that her student had written a letter to his family stating the claim that he should have his own bedroom. He supported his claim with reasons. For example, his brother talked to him a lot at night and that kept him from sleeping, so he thought he would get more sleep if he had his own room. After his parents agreed that he could have his own room, he invited his older brother to join him in his new bedroom! Debby then told the story of another student who had convinced her mother, through writing, to let her repaint her bedroom lavender. Not long after the letter went home, Debby received a photograph of the student with her mother, gliding paint rollers along fresh lavender walls. Whether stating a claim for a new bedroom, for a fresh paint color, or for a positive action that will make the world a better place, it is important to keep in mind that “letter letter writers see the world as it is, imagine what it could be, and use writing to make dreams come true” (Picard Taylor 2008, 17). There are everyday opportunities all around us that call for opinion/argument writing.

By Mary C. McMackin and Jennifer M. Bogard Foreword by Melissa Cheesman Smith All Grades

As the Common Core State Standards explain, “although although young children are not able to produce fully developed logical arguments, they develop a variety of methods to extend and elaborate their work by providing examples, offering reasons for their assertions, and explaining cause and effect” effect (Appendix A, 23). Providing students with opportunities to communicate their opinions through writing is important, as “these these kinds of expository structures are steps on the road to argument” argument (Appendix A, 23).

In fact, the Common Core State Standards assign the term opinion to these types of developing arguments written by students in Kindergarten through fifth grade.

Support students’ writing by helping them integrate strategies from mentor texts. ◗ Dive deeply into multiple genres: narrative fiction, narrative nonfiction, poetry, opinion/argument, and informative/explanatory. ◗ Each chapter includes mentor texts that align to each genre and support students’ understanding of the texts and the strategies that authors use to convey their messages.

However, the use of the terms opinion,, persuasion, persuasion, and argument in the Common Core State Standards can be puzzling, and defining each term allows us to understand their differences.

Opinion writing often, “takes takes a stand on a topic and supports opinions with facts, definitions, and details” (writestepswriting.com 2013). However, opinion writing does not necessarily require facts to support the opinion presented. For example, opinion is also defined as “aa view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge” (Google search, “opinion”). “opinion opinion ). For young children, opinion writing opinion”). is about sharing their personal beliefs.

Persuasive writing,, on the other hand, “focuses focuses on convincing the reader to agree with the author” and the author, “uses uses logic and facts to persuade the reader reader”” (writestepswriting.com 2013). © Shell Education

192 pp. • Digital Resources • ISBN 9781425814823 • $39.99 A Process for Close Reading In a close reading, teachers select a text and read it aloud or have students read it independently or in pairs, depending on the students’ instructional needs. Then, students can engage in multiple readings. Here are suggestions for guiding students’ first reading, second reading, and third reading of a text, as well as sample questions to use with each reading. Some questions are text dependent, while others are more open-ended.

Reading, Writing, and Rhythm

First Reading A key feature of the first close reading is that students initially read the text independently before discussing it. The first reading focuses primarily on comprehending the text at a basic level with questions such as: • What are the conflicts and how are the conflicts resolved?

How do you know? ? How

• What are two things that you learned on page do you feel about what you learned?

Engaging Content-Area Literacy Strategies

Second Reading In the second reading students explore how the text worked and the techniques the author used. Students should be encouraged to explore deeper-level questions and support their responses with evidence from the text. In some cases, it may be appropriate for students to reread only selected salient passages of the text. Some possible questions to ask are:

By Rosalie Fink Foreword by Timothy Rasinski All Grades

• How did the author organize this text?

• What literary devices did the author use and how effective were they?

• What was the quality of the evidence in this book?

Keys to Building Vocabulary

From the Classroom: Roots in Action

By Timothy Rasinski, Nancy Padak, Rick M. Newton, and Evangeline Newton Foreword By Karen Bromley All Grades

In the last chapter, we shared some effective classroom-tested instructional activities that will give your students practice with roots. We noted that a good activity should provide students with practice at appropriate difficulty levels. It should provide you with ways to support students by modeling strategies, guiding assignments, leading discussions, and even participating with them in word play activities that are both fun and good instruction.

We know that sometimes the best support comes from peers, so activities in which students can work in pairs and/or share their thoughts with others through discussion also provide excellent vocabulary practice.

As we noted, a good activity should also be “authentic,” providing practice with words in many different contexts. Such practice creates an awareness of the meaning and structure of words that will fascinate students and help make them lifelong word lovers. In this chapter, we will peek in on some classroom activities where students and their teachers are learning new words—and learning about words—together!

This engaging, teacher-friendly guide provides the latest research on strategies, ideas, and resources for using Greek and Latin roots to teach vocabulary as directed in the College and Career Readiness Standards.

Root of the Week In Joanna Newton’s second-grade classroom, words are everywhere. There are math and social studies word walls, as well as a student-created word wall that explores word families.

One bulletin board of student writing has a bold banner that asserts, “Your Words Matter.” Many of the students in Joanna’s classroom have learned English as a second language. They © Shell Education

Language Development “The limits of my language are the limits of my world” -Ludwig Wittgenstein, 1953

L

anguage is powerful because it allows people to access knowledge. It is how we communicate and learn from others, it is how we make meaning from text and share our thoughts with the world through written and oral forms. Language is powerful because it connects us to one another. It connects us to our families, our community, and our friends. Language in its simplest definition has been defined as, “a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition (Webster’s dictionary).” As simple as this may seem, language is complex and for those of us who have tried to learn a second language or teach language we have experienced the complexities of language.

Children have an amazing ability to acquire a first language quickly and subconsciously. Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell (1983) discuss the difference between acquiring language and learning language. They share that language acquisition is a, ‘natural’ way to develop linguistic ability, and is a subconscious 5

Idiom Pictures

Standards Grades K–2 (Writing Standard 8.5; ELD Standard 3.1) Grades 3–5 (Writing Standard 8.6; ELD Standard 3.1)

Language Objective Students will use English to discuss idioms and then draw pictures that represent the literal and figurative meaning of their idioms.

Learning Objective Students will learn the meaning of idioms by comparing the literal and figurative meanings.

Activities for English Language Learners Across the Curriculum

Activity Length Approximately 30 minutes Activity Format Whole group and independent

Materials • copies of page 70, one per student • crayons or markers for each student

Procedure 1. Discuss the meaning of idiom (a phrase that has a figurative meaning different from the literal meaning of the individual words in the phrase).

2. Give some examples, such as tip of the iceberg, fork in the road under the weather, and face the music. Discuss both the road, literal and figurative meanings. Have students help create a list of idioms. Write their responses on the board.

3. Distribute copies of page 70. Have students draw pictures on their paper of idioms with the literal meaning in the left box and the figurative meaning in the right box. Ask students to write at the bottom of their paper what the idiom means. If students cannot think of an idiom to draw, have them select one from the examples.

4. When students have finished, ask them to trade drawings and guess each others’ idioms.

Teacher Tip • Ask students to create new idiom drawings from a list you have provided. Post students’ drawings on the wall, for other students to guess.

Differentiating by Proficiency Level Beginning: Allow students to act out their responses.

Intermediate: Give students multi-step directions to complete the activity.

Advanced: Ask students to draw conclusions about the drawings and idioms.

To differentiate by proficiency level, see pp.

11–15 for Bloom’s Taxono my Questions and pp. 19–24 for detailed examples.

Assessment The following is a checklist of items to informally assess students after they complete this activity.

Students should be able to: • understand figurative language • practice grammar skills by using idioms correctly • participate in a classroom discussion pertaining to the definition of idiom © Shell Education

Guided Math Conferences

By Laney Sammons Foreword by Deborah Allen Wirth Grades K–8

This resource provides teachers with suggestions, tips, management, and implementation methods to effectively conference with students within the Guided Math framework. Templates, planning tools, and other resources are included to help teachers stay organized and effective while conferring.

Conferring with Young Mathematicians Just as students come in all shapes and sizes, with distinctive personalities, quirks, senses of humor, and sensitivities, they also come into our classrooms with unique background knowledge and instructional needs. Somehow we manage to adapt our instruction each year as these young learners enter our classrooms—not only adapt, but to truly delight in the diversity that enriches the learning environment we so carefully construct.

Realistically, however, the vast differences in foundational knowledge and skills of students pose challenges—challenges that are intrinsic to the profession of teaching. How do we gain insights into the thinking of our students, discover what they know, what they can do, what misconceptions they have, what struggles they face, and what concerns they harbor? The intimate nature of small classes allows astute teachers to establish close relationships with their students in which they acquire something of a true measure of their students’ learning strengths and needs through observation and discussions. Building on that measure, differentiation of instruction f lows naturally.

With larger class sizes, the task of accurately assessing the complex and unique individual learning needs of our students is more difficult.

Opportunities to closely observe their work are limited, as are in-depth student-teacher conversations during lessons, especially during whole whole-class lessons. In some ways, a classroom full of students is analogous to an orchestra. When 25 or 30 students are each playing their own scores, the blended sound of the whole orchestra makes it almost impossible to

1. Present the following mathematical scenario and cluster for students to investigate. Say, “We are also working as mathematicians to notice the structure of numbers and attend to precision, or noting all details.

John and Maria each have stickers that come in different packs. Pack A stickers contain 100 stickers in each pack.

Pack B stickers contain 10 stickers in each pack. Pack C stickers contain one sticker per pack. John has 3 pack A stickers, 5 pack B stickers, and 17 pack C stickers. Maria has 2 packs of A stickers, 15 packs of B stickers, and 18 packs of C stickers. Who has the most stickers? Explain your reasoning by drawing pictures, writing numerical sentences using >, =, and < symbols. Justify using place value explanation.”

By Jared DuPree Foreword by Ruth Harbin Miles Grades K–8

2. Allow students time to discuss the intended meaning of the cluster and ask clarifying questions about the problem scenario. A question students may ask would be: How will place value help me solve this problem?

Solicit Questions 3. Ask students to generate questions for exploration based on the task. Record questions that students generate.

Some questions may be: • How do the tens compare to the hundreds in our total number of stickers?

Effectively implement the key shifts in mathematics instruction: focus, coherence and rigor. Build meaningful lessons and assessments, enabling students to develop factual, conceptual, procedural, and meta-cognitive knowledge.

• Did I answer all parts of the problem?

• Are there other ways to solve this problem?

• Is it possible to open the pack of stickers and group them differently?

• Why does Pack C only have one sticker in the pack?

4. If needed or desired, ask the following strategic questions to prompt exploration: • What mathematical language can you use to explain ______? (MP6) • Have you considered all parts of the problem in your argument? (MP6) • What patterns do you notice? (MP7)

Mathematics Classroom Procedures Every successful classroom needs established norms, procedures, celebrations, and consequences. Every teacher has a different way to effectively set these up in the classroom. Classroom norms are a shared understanding of what is expected from the class. These norms should be established early in the school year and clearly posted for everyone to see, in addition to celebrations and consequences of following, or not following, them.

Learn effective research-based strategies to differentiate instruction and enrich curriculum for mathematics standards.

Mathematics

This up-to-date guide builds a thorough understanding of current math standards and promotes the development of students’ critical-thinking skills. Best-practice instruction strategies are provided to implement in today’s classroom.

Strategies Used in This Lesson

Materials • paper

• Modeling

• Multiplication Grids (page 144; page144.pdf)

• Visual Aids • Acronyms

Procedure 1. Tell students that they will be learning how to use the grid method for multiplication. In this method, students break one of the numbers into tens and ones and then multiply.

2. Distribute a piece of paper to each student. Instruct students to fold their papers into four equal sections.

Topics include: ✔ using manipulatives ✔ developing mathematical vocabulary ✔ teaching procedures ✔ developing problem-solving abilities ✔ using games ✔ assessing mathematical thinking

3. Review multiplication by having students use mental math to multiply single-digit numbers by 10.

4. Write the problem 24 × 7 on the board or overhead. Below it, draw a grid like the one shown below. Have students set up the problem in the top left box on their papers.

5. Have students identify the single-digit number and the two-digit number. Tell them that in the grid method of multiplication, the single-digit number belongs on the left side of the grid.

6. Next, have students break the two-digit number into tens and ones. (20 and 4) Tell students that if you add the two pieces together, the sum is still 24; 20 + 4 is simply a different way to represent the number 24. Place the addition sentence above the grid as shown below. Have students do the same on their papers.

Math Games

Anchors Array Prepare Standard Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.

Concept Explanation Students need to clearly understand the relationship between multiplication - fact families that are based upon repeated addition. With the idea of an array or objects, students can separate objects into groups such as 20 objects into five groups of four. On the array, students observe the rows and columns relationship.

Game Overview In this game, students will create arrays with to represent selected numbers.

Materials The resources to play this game are found on the Digital Resource CD (anchorsarray.pdf).

• manipulatives (e.g., square tiles, counters, cubes; handful per student)

Copy the Anchors Array Sailboat Game Board Mat, one per student.

Copy and cut out the Anchors Array Game Cards, one set per pair of students.

Set the Stage Work with students to understand arrays and how arrays represent multiplication through repeated addition.

Take the time to have students count out 15 unit tiles, and place the tiles in a 5 by 3 array.

Show students how the 5 by 3 array can be used to identify two factors of 15 and that 15 can be separated into five rows with three squares per row as well as three rows with five squares per row.

Ask students to count out 20 unit tiles and form an array. Move around the room observing the various arrays students create. After a few minutes, ask students to share their array dimensions and record their answers on the whiteboard. Then, ask students to form a different array, using the same 20 tiles.

By Kathleen N. Kopp Foreword by Alan McCormack All Grades

Mine, Yours, Theirs Plate Tectonics The multi-million dollar seismic equipment was helpful. But the geologist relied more on her understanding of plate tectonics to help predict the next major earthquake.

My Definition: Something that helps scientists predict earthquakes

My Neighbor’s Definition: Parts of the earth, like rocks and dust

Glossary Definition: A scientific theory. It explains the way that land separated into today’s continents from Pangaea.

It is also the study of land movement, which causes earthquakes.

How These Definitions Compare:

Enhance science instruction with proven strategies and suggestions to engage learners and support science standards in a teacher-friendly format.

I really had no idea what plate tectonics were. My neighbor and I figured out that it had something to do with the earth and earthquakes. It really is about how the earth moves.

Writing Standards in Science Writing promotes learning through the use of ref lection and discussion.

Writing Across the Curriculum states “Only by practicing the thinking and writing conventions of an academic discipline will students begin to communicate effectively within that discipline” (Michigan Science Teachers Association 2014, 3). Science teachers may consider themselves to be in a prime position to help students see the value of writing for a specific purpose and to help them perfect this craft. The Common Core State Standards Initiative also supports writing within the science classroom by stating “To build a foundation for college and career readiness, students need to learn to use writing as a way of offering and supporting opinions, demonstrating understanding of the subjects they are studying, and conveying real and imagined experiences and events” (CCSSO 2010, 41). The following are some examples of options available to utilize writing as a means to learn.

This resource includes ideas and tips to create engaging science lessons that intrigue, motivate, and prepare students to be scientifically literate in a global society.

He often twisted the truth and began to believe it. He could make people feel unimportant.

Education Admitted to the University of Pennsylvania at the age of 13, he entered West Point at the age of fifteen and a half. He was a member of the Dialectic Society, the smartest of the West Point upperclassmen, and graduated from West Point second in his class in 1846.

Military Experience Mentioned for bravery in the Mexican War with Winfield Scott at the taking of Mexico City, he served on a special military committee in Europe to study the military. While abroad, he studied European armies and wrote about what he observed. When the South seceded, he was made a general of Ohio troops and volunteers and won West Virginia for the Union, scoring a minor military victory.

Background He left the army in 1856 and worked for the railroads as a manager.

Candidate #2: “A Fighter” Born: 1814 in Massachusetts Present age: 48 years of age Personality/Physical Appearance He had a military style, especially on horseback when reviewing his troops. He was a bachelor. While serving in the peacetime army in California, there was a rumor that he drank and gambled. He enjoyed the good life, partied hard, and loved the company of women at the local bars. He had a big mouth and bragged a lot; he usually was sorry later for what he said.

Education He graduated from West Point 29th of 50 students in the class of 1837. Many people reported he was a brilliant student, but his behavior was bad and pulled him down in ranking.

Military Experience He fought in the Mexican War from 1846–1848. During the war, he was rewarded three times for gallantry and bravery on the battlefield. He was chief-of-staff to five different generals, and he managed their commands, gaining a wide range of experience. He left the army in 1853.

Background Congress made him a Brigadier General (in command of a brigade) after the Civil War broke out. He served bravely in every major battle in those early months. He fought and won more battles than any other general during his 16-month leadership.
