Throughout the year we create many different art projects that are integrated into our standard curriculum. For example, to teach elements of literature we use poetry. During the unit students then get to create their own slam poetry, which culminates in a Poetry Slam on stage! The kids love the project. To further their understanding of tone and mood, we teach the students some basics of photography. Currently students use their phones or our school Lenovos to take the pictures. They have no editing equipment. We are working on getting some cameras and would then use the iPads to edit the photographs that ultimately end up as the students' background as they are on stage reading their poetry. This unit integrates the arts and literature that allows the students ultimate control of expressing their thoughts. Through all this they also learn about elements such as tone, mood, and theme. Please help my students to have an engaging unit that will stay with them for years and years. The use of iPads will greatly increase their ability to engage and express!
