The Arts In Every Classroom: A Video Library K-5
After watching the video, and your own experiences consider the following discussion questions and discuss your perspectives in two or more paragraphs. Post your responses within the Language and Drama Discussion using the Discussion link in the Course Menu.
Questions for Discussion
How do drama activities (those in the video and those you may have observed) provide opportunities for the development of both listening and speaking skills? How do they also integrate elements of movement?
While students in the video are a bit older than preprimary, how can the same principles be utilized in a preprimary classroom?
How can ideas for improvisation and pantomime be utilized in the classroom? Create your own “Action Improv: Let’s Act!” scenario appropriate for preprimary to share with the class. For example:
“You and a group of friends are taking a hike in the woods. It is a lovely day and you brought a picnic along. You find the perfect spot for lunch. After lunch, you realize that it is beginning to get cloudy and looks like rain. You quickly gather your picnic supplies and look for the path that will lead you out of the woods. OH NO! You cannot find the path. What happens?”
Prompt 2-(6)
After watching the video, reading your text, completing investigations and considering your own experiences consider the following discussion questions and discuss your perspectives in two or more paragraphs. Post your responses within the Drawing, Writing, and Visual Arts Discussion using the Discussion link in the Course Menu.
Questions for Discussion
How do visual arts activities (those in the video and those you may have observed) provide opportunities for learning about other cultures and/or the development of eye-hand coordination or visual representation?
How can you use knowledge of the different stages of development to encourage creative expression and design effective learning activities for preprimary children?
What should you do as an early childhood educator to keep the focus on the visual arts process (rather than product)? Think carefully about this, especially in terms of how you will evaluate student learning and progress – what will you evaluate if you do not evaluate a product? How can you evaluate the process?
If you were able to complete the suggested investigation activity with children, share your observations and findings about their processes of drawing and working with clay.
Prompt 3-(6)
A theme throughout the text and, certainly, throughout early childhood education, is to provide home-school connections for children and for their parents. These connections can take on many forms and serve many purposes. They can inform parents about current topics and happenings in the classroom. They can provide ideas for parents in ways they can extend the learning at home as well as spend quality time with their children. They can give children the opportunity to communicate and show what they are learning at school. This week I would like you to create a specific home-school connection activity that parents are required to complete with their child. This means that you will likely need to provide all materials needed to accomplish this activity and send it home (in a baggie, in a cloth sack, etc.) and provide complete instructions to parents, being sensitive to all education levels and cultural backgrounds as well as the limited time some parents may have each evening with their children.
Complete the Following
Review the suggested home activities on pages 164 and 236 of your Edwards text.
Create a home-school connection activity related to visual arts.
Your activity must include
an introduction to the activity describing the purpose of the activity to parents and how it relates to what is being learned in school (you will have to imagine here that you are in the midst of a particular unit)
a list of the contents of the “bag” (all the items that need to be included for the parent to complete the activity)
complete step-by-step instructions for the parents,
require the reading of a children’s book to set the stage for or end the activity
require a visual arts experience
