This 16-minute DVD offers a lively overview of two dynamic art-based literacy models that have been proven effective in improving literacy skills by offering students visual and kinesthetic as well as verbal modes of thinking at each and every stage of the writing process. Visit two classrooms (grades 1 and 2) with fairly high percentages of at-risk students. Observe students as they work in earnest to craft their own literary masterpieces, witness their extraordinary work, and listen to their voices as they reflect on their experiences. Watch how these two art-based approaches to literacy learning level the playing field, allowing all students to succeed. Price: $20.00 Our Stories in Pictures and Words
During this 13-minute DVD, witness a classroom of English Language Learners, new to the country, many of whom have never painted before, become captivated by a lively–art-based approach to literacy learning. As students, grades 3-5, participate in Image-Making Within The Writing Process®, they are given the opportunity to literally reconstruct their life stories using collage made from their own hand-painted papers. As these immigrant and refugee students give shape to their experiences, they become highly motivated to learn the English words to tell their family story. The bold, colorful images students create, together with their words, paint a compelling picture as well as demonstrate the power of treating words and pictures as equal languages for learning.
