I visited the site that you suggested and agree 110percnt! i think that the students would love takign te photos and writing a poem about them. I am currenlty thinking of ways to integreate this into my classroom.

I also love how this website broke down the idea of arts integration into student friendly language. There was a great article i found on how art integrations is linked to student acievement, check it out if you have timehttp://www.artseveryday.org/uploadedFiles/Cultural_Organizations/How%20Arts%20Integration%20Supports%20Student%20Learning.pdf

By your request I visited the website and I FELL in LOVEE! I love the use of the music side of arts to integrate into my classroom!. Throughout this whole process, I have only really looked at ways to integrate arts ‘(painting,drawing ect) into my classroom! This website forced me to think of ways to incorporate music untl my class! I have thought of a lesson where my kids would take a part of the story that we are reading in our Hunger Games book, and write a piece of music that connects to the way that they feel after reading the part that they selected in the Hunger Games. I was also intrigued by the many opportunities for professional development that they had for teachers. Overall great site!.
