Authentic Writing
 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Music
Have the students rewrite songs that you have

sang in class.  Such as Twelve days of Christmas

to the 13 dayŐs of Halloween!  Or have the students

pick a song they would like to change and rewrite it.

(This can be done in groups or as individuals).

 

 

Drama
Have the students read a book and turn it into

A readerŐs theater.  The students will take the book

That they have read and turn it into a play, that they

Act out later in the year or with that specific Unit.

 

 

 

Visual Arts
            Have the students look at different paintings and write        a story about what they think that painting is about. 

This enables the students to be creative in what they see in the painting.

 

 

 

 

DanceHave the students watch a dance performance and then tell what they think the dance is trying to portray.

And have they write their own story about the dance.
