Contrary to the trend to do away with arts education as an
unnecessary expense in schools trying to boost student test scores,
this book promotes and explains the value of integrated arts
instruction in furthering the accomplishment of curricular
objectives and fostering student achievement. Accomplished library
media specialist and arts instructor Kristin Fontichiaro discusses
how drama, shadow puppetry, and podcasting can be used as tools to
meet curriculum objectives in the K-8 media center. By
concentrating on the process of creating a piece of drama or
puppetry or a podcast, as opposed to the goal of performance, and
by infusing the arts with curriculum objectives in story or
research, these techniques can intensify a child's learning and
provide context for classroom curriculum objectives. A discussion
of the affective and academic benefits of this process-based work
as well as sample lessons are included. Photographs and examples of
student work illustrate the oechniques. Grades K-8.
