7. Reading in the arts Part One

8. Why Read? Robert Marzano says the best schools involve students in a program of wide reading that emphasizes vocabulary development; Reading opportunities each day in different subject areas more than double a students’ exposure to vocabulary words.

9. How do I get students to understand what they read? If students are to understand content area readings, they must imPRES. –Predict –Retell –Explain (clarify) –Summarize These four steps help to create engaged students!

10. Effective Strategies to aid student comprehension Anticipation guides Cloze reading passage for comprehension and vocabulary development (leaving blanks) Word activities and cooperative learning –Word walls –Semantic webs and word sorts (roots & languages) Paraphrasing

11. Anticipation & Vocab guide- examples What I Know What I think I might know – not sure of. Questions that I would like to know the answers to.. Use when listening to music, watching dance, or observing visual art pieces. VALUE means: Start with lighter shades here. Smooth hatched cross/hatch creative Value is relative: Light is reflected off objects. Shading is: Chiaroscuro is: Layer marks. Distance marks – closer or farther apart. Charcoal smears well. An eraser can be used to ‘draw’ a line. Reading: The visual Experience, 2 nd Edition, Chap. 6, pgs 56-61

12. Framework for lesson planning Before During After Reading Before Reading –Activating background knowledge –Setting a purpose for reading –Predicting text content –Reviewing and clarifying vocabulary

13. During Reading –Establish the purpose for each part of the reading –Self-monitoring – (notes, idea sketches) – vocabulary clarification –Visualizing – (dance moves, vocal/instrumental sounds, imagery) –Summarizing --Identifying and clarifying key ideas –Questioning self – finding relevancy and relationship to the arts application.

14. After Reading –Assessing if purpose of reading was met –Paraphrasing important information –Identifying the main idea and details –Making comparisons –Connecting – relevancy to your class –Drawing conclusions –Summarizing –Analyzing – USING this information in class or project

15. Pillow Project--Symbol as Proverb This symbol represents the idea that one must take from the past what is good and bring it into the present in order to make positive progress through the benevolent use of knowledge. It can be represented by a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back. Sankofa is actually an Akan word meaning go back and take. Sanko- go back, fa- take. This idea has since been adopted by other tribes in the area and other cultures around the world. Students read explanations for many symbols. – Akan, Ukranian, Native American

16. keyarts.wikispaces.com R11.A.2.1 Identify and apply meaning of vocabulary in nonfiction R11.A.2.4 Identify and explain main ideas and relevant details in nonfiction Vocabulary identified was placed on a word-wall. Related/similar symbols were grouped

17. R.11.A.2.5 Summarize a nonfictional text as a whole. Use paraphrasing to –Assess understanding –Draw conclusions –Connect learning I had students Choose five symbols from the reading- sketch & paraphrase their meaning. Create their own symbols (3) (visual arts) – synthesize meaning Write about the meaning of their personal symbols Use their symbols in a pillow design (batik technique) Orally explain the symbolic relationships to the class.

19. For the music class Notes are a symbol system- an alphabet. Their placement is meaningful on the staff, and spacing is meaningful. Reading this new language, as well as about its development. VOCABULARY

20. For the Dance or theatre class Body positions Body placement in relationship to others, or on stage. VOCABULARY dance history – Martha Graham stage craft – the Globe

21. "The language arts - Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening - are unique because they are processes that students use to learn and make sense of their world. Students do not read "reading"; they read about history, science, mathematics and other content areas as well as about other topics for their interest and entertainment. Similarly, students do not write "writing"; they use written words to express their knowledge and ideas and to inform or entertain others. Because of the unique nature of the language arts, all teachers in the school will use the Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening standards. From the Pennsylvania Code, Title 22, section 4.83 Why Reading and Writing?

24. Four by Five foot canvas panels – Illustrating the effects of gravity and force on paint… Five Third Grade classes used sponges, balls, mops, turkey basters, and more – never touching the canvas, but allowing gravity to work for them.

25. Science Fair Art Students created these group images with the art teacher. In regular class, students set up experiments holding eye droppers at different heights and then allowing paint to drip – studying gravity. They then measured the splat differences and graphed the results! And then ‘named’ the art… Brucie Holler: Hilton Head, South Carolina
