Today in class we participated in group music presentations relating to a book having to do with our core subject for our field experience.
I have had a hobby for years of making up words to familiar tunes. However, I had never considered using it to teach students important facts, processes, concepts, etc. in the classroom AND it incorporates the arts. What a useful tool!
I am very excited to go into the classroom this week and implement a lot of what I've learned. I have a great art lesson on Greece I'm excited to use, as well as some drama/dance for one of our lessons. I hope to also improvise some of these ideas as I feel appropriate in the classroom. There are applications everywhere for it. I was astounded how easily and fluidly the arts could be implemented. No need to eliminate them...they are easily incorporated into all subjects.
