Kotas-ELA Lesson 5 posting One site that I found was at http://www.ehow.com/info_8205479_elementary-integrated-art-lessons.html and it was titled Elementary Integrated Art Lessons. I tried to veer away from the sites we already went to as everyone knows about them and find alternate sights that might be useful. One this particular site, it shows a short paragraph on Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science and a quick "how to" guide. It may be more of an enhancement but we now know how to add to those types of lessons to make them more integrated. Another site I went to was http://www.pnwboces.org/ssela/sample_lessons/sample.htm and it was titled Sample Lessons Social Studies/English Language Arts Curriculum. It had this intro "The Integrated Social Studies/English Language Arts Curriculum for Grades K-6 was developed by teachers during curriculum development workshops over the last seven years. The project received its impetus from the Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES Curriculum Council." It had sample lessons, units and materials needed for grades K-6. I reviewed the first grade lesson and I think the integration of the arts is up to the teacher but the lesson DOES focus on: integrated with best practices in instructional technology and 21st Century Skills which include: encouraging higher order thinking skills involving collaborative learning using informational sources that cannot be found elsewhere or are not as rich engaging the research spirit infusing video clips utilizing real-time data utilizing interactive whiteboards effectively having real world connections allowing for online publishing or input from others I found an Arts Integrated lesson plan of Moby Dick for third grade at http://mdk12.org/toolkit/vsc/arts_lesson_seeds/share/Puppetry_Moby_Dick.pdf. After reviewing this lesson, it seems to be more of what we are looking for. It states the visual arts objectives with the content objectives and I believe someone could use this in their classroom with little adaptations. Phil Tulga (?) had some music activities and arts integration lessons at http://www.philtulga.com/resources.html which looked promising. He divides his page up into LA and Math/Science and lists lessons underneath. I do not know much about art but the Incredible Art Department at http://www.incredibleart.org/lessons/elem/integration.html had a PAGE of red lined elementary art lessons that appear to be integrated and there are many tabs to explore, such as preschool lessons, elementary lessons, junior high lessons, high school lessons, college lessons, sub lessons, art/drama lessons, Art gallery, activities, art lesson links, and cartoon lessons. The last link I looked at was from the Herberger Institute for design and the arts from ASU http://artswork.asu.edu/teachers/lesson_plans/integrated_arts/. It had some integrated lessons listed on it related to dance, music, drama, visual arts and integrated arts. I looked at some lessons and this one seemed integrated: Me and My Body: Music and Science (2 days) Science Standard: Students will recognize that component parts make up the human body systems (e.g. muscular, skeletal, circulatory, respiratory) Music Achievement Indicators: Students will: sing independently, on pitch and in rhythm, with appropriate timber, diction, and posture, and maintain a steady tempo use appropriate terminology in explaining music and music notation I hope these are useful to someone!!!
