PDAE Arts Integration Blog: PDAE/CCSD ConFABulation!
I am not sure if this is responding to the confab blog or not but here it goes... I truly enjoyed the conference in a way I never have! I was actually excited to go back the next day! I enjoyed boyh Layne's conference part! It will be exciting to see the results as I incorporate the tools taught by both- the contract, the tableaus, the critical thinking, and cooperative learning! I also am excited to try the storytelling learned from Stotts? I think creative and critical thinking are going to happen iny class if I incorporate the tools learned from this conference. It is exciting and I cannot wait!

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!.
Discussion 4a
o Marlo~ I like how you think! I was also encouraged to use BAM when I started with CCSD 16 years ago and yet I do not see or hear alot of teachers acting like they are using it. I think your point that if everything and most people agree that BAM and UbD are effective, then we should be able to do it more regularly.
Stephen Covey wrote in his 7 Habits of HIghly Effective People that Habit 2 is to Begin with the End in Mind. He wrote, "Sometimes people find themselves achieving victories that are empty--successes that have come at the expense of things that were far more valuable to them. If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take gets you to the wrong place faster." He states that to "Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen." This is what I think my students deserve so I am trying to give the preparation the time it needs to have effective units.
Discussion 4b
o Kathyrn ~ I liked the way you summed up UbD. I particularly appreciated your statement "the end goal of UbD is understanding and the ability to transfer learnings – to appropriately connect, make sense of, and use discrete knowledge and skills in context. Evidence of understanding is revealed through performance – when learners transfer knowledge and skills effectively, using one or more “facets” (explain, interpret, apply, shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess)." I always feel a sense of success when my students can connect one bit of learning to another situation. For instance a student was trying to solve an equation and another student explained it to her using symmetry from a geometry lesson.
I agree that planning with units is best done backwards just as with most trips. Once you know where you are headed, you can plan where to stop and what to see along they way with your eye always on the final destination. I have finally begun to put together the assessment I plan to use before I begin planning the lessons and activities to achieve the goal of the assessment.
Discussion 3c
o Math ~ Amanda LaTurner
Emmanuela, I will look at both of your viewed videos. Iwas thinking about using the Golden Ratio in one of my integrated lessons. It is good to have some ideas challenged. We need to challenge statements of students at times to give them the opportunity to "construct viable arguements and critique thereasoning of others".
Discussion 3b
• Math ~ Amanda LaTurner
I have visited this site a few times since becoming a part of Cadre 2 with PDAE grant. There are not alot of integrating math and an art lessons. I found two that I really enjoyed. I have used the Mandala lesson in my room this year and my class enjoyed it. Other teachers have visited the room and thought the artwork was wonderful. Another math teacher wants to use the lesson later this year. The other lesson I plan on using integrates music notation with fractions. I appreciate relative completeness of each of the lessons. There are handouts, assessments with rubrics, and many times videos to help with the teaching of the art curriculum.
One idea I had while viewing the site was to encourage students to use technology as a way of showing understanding. I can see many different creations made using different programs. Students could the xylophone site to share rhythms and/or melodies. They could create a flip book showing how different beats could combine to make a measure.
• Another idea would be to include performance as part of the assessment or as a part of the lesson. It might be good to allow groups to share with one another rather than have everyone do it in front of the whole class. This would encourage everyone (even those less comfortable in the limelight) to participate.
The music lesson could be a good one to help students learn to give constructive and precise critique. They could evaluate the counts of a piece as well as the feel of the offering. Sometimes students get hung up on a product as being nice or saying "I liked it" rather than identifying what was pleasant, unnerving, surprising, or soothing.
