A most enthusiastic teacher, Jennifer Meyer, led a session
on how she aims to challenge students.
Her objective was met for she exposed learners to modern art and
American culture through various media plus YouTube videos. Pupils were taught to screen print following
the example of Andy Warhol. Learners had
to write their own procedural manual on how to do printmaking. After examining the artist’s prints of
Marilyn Monroe, English was built by taking notes plus analyzing &
evaluating movie clips. Argumentative
paragraphs critiquing Monroe were composed.
Ms. Meyer cites ten common core standards utilized in this unique unit. She received a travel grant from Tennessee TESOL which made this excellent contribution possible.
A teacher from Charlotte, my second home, stated this was
the best concurrent session he attended.
I share his enthusiasm. Resource:
