Three things I learned
about storytelling are that it is joke telling, knowing your punch line, your
ending, but the most important thing I learned is that it confirms some truth
that depends our understand about who we are as humans.
“Using
creativity and imagination, as if working for an advertising agency, each
student developed a way to “sell” the element by using image composition tools
to create a propaganda poster.” I
picked this quote because it is very close to an activity I had my students do
during my time student teaching at East Fairmont High School. In this case I
gave each of the students in my music appreciation class a classical composer
that they were to research. Part of the assignment included writing a research
paper about the composer, but I also had them create concert posters for their
composer. I gave them complete freedom to design the poster they just had to
include at least two pieces that they composed, and date and place that the
pieces could have been performed at.
The picture at the top is an example of the students work. While doing this I
found the students to be more engaged in research than they were for just
writing the paper.
