Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization and Reading are key components in learning and teaching in the arts. Vocal and Band focus on developing students' knowledge and skills in music literacy and performance. Visual and graphic organizers are used regularly in the classroom to support students' learning. Collaboration between performing and fine art teachers in addition to that of students is integral to instruction. performance, and portfolio planning. Teachers work with students to develop self-management skills through learning and performance targets, goals, and planners to improve time management, responsibility, and organization.
Let's Get Specific:
Writing
Writing
Examples:
Exit Tickets: "today, I created _____"; "two examples of complementary colors are ______ and ________."
Sequencing: Whether creating art, instrumental music, or singing lyrics steps are involved (e.g. medium, concepts, process, and techniques) in learning. Students can practice the literacy skill of sequencing. Students are much more likely to remember the steps when they write them down.
Learning Logs: Listening to one's performance or reviewing one's art project, students can avail themselves of learning logs. Using guiding questions allows students to understand the aspects of either the recording or the sketches, which need improvement.
