Read my working chapter "Theatre Literacy” in (Re) imagining Literacies for Content-area Classrooms (a book published by Teachers College Press latter this fall). Tell me what my paper makes you consider about your own classroom.
Read my working chapter "Theatre Literacy” in (Re) imagining Literacies for Content-area Classrooms (a book published by Teachers College Press latter this fall). Tell me what my paper makes you consider about your own classroom. This reading made me think about the different ways I could help the students create their own texts. I thought of the different activities that I could do with the students to help them start interpreting the texts that I present in their own ways. I want to create opportunities for each student to interpret texts in different ways. For example, as a designer, actor, writers, director, through dramaturgy, in different historical contexts, and as different audience members. I am going to set up my classroom in a way that lets my students experience these different ways of interpreting texts. It also made me excited to introducing this way of thinking to my students.
Reading the INTASC Principles made me think of how well rounded the principles really are. They talk about helping the students improve intellectually, socially, and personally. It talks about how all students are individuals that respond in different ways to different things. We need to be able to oversee there projects while helping them grow in several ways. This corresponds directly with texts and literacy that we talked about before. If we help the children look at things from different perspectives and help them create something of their own in an environment that is safe and watched over, it will allow them to grow in many different ways. They will learn to be responsible adults that can contribute to society because they are used to contributing in a class room. It made me think of a way that I feel would fulfill the different INTASC Principles while also allowing them to create texts for themselves. This is assigning them to be on a production team for the different plays that are going on. We will switch the roles they play so they can experience different ways of thinking about and creating texts. But through having them work together they are not only developing intellectually, but socially through collaboration. It will also help them gain confidence and learn to be practitioners through these professional like relationships.
