How can the arts help us engage with language?
How did each component of the “Jabberwocky” lesson plan enhance learning by combing the Arts & ELA?
What are some of the arts strategies you used to find meaning in the unfamiliar texts? (Visual Arts, Theatre, Moving Image, Dance/Movement & Music)
How did your experience with the activities we did in class affect your understanding of what it feels like to be an English Language Learner?
Briefly describe how you will apply the ideas from the reading and the class activity to your future teaching.
Give an example of a future lesson plan that incorporates the ideas you’ve discussed. (I attached the lesson plan)
