  1. Welcome toSPIRIT HORSE A joint E.T.F.O. & O.E.C.T.A. professional development project for Northern Ontario Marathon Area Schools – Holy Saviour October 7, 2010

  2. The Whirlwind Agenda1:30 – 3:30 Why Are We Here? How do we define Arts Education? A Look at the NEW Revised Arts Policy in Ontario BREAK OUT: Looking at an in-progress arts activity, engaging in music An introduction to SPIRIT HORSE Pre-Show Activities, an example activity laid out Some web resources and how we can keep in touch Assignment for next time

  3. Why Are We Here Today? - ETFO and OECTA have joined forces to provide a very rare opportunity to teachers in the north – a chance to collaborate and share ideas around THE ARTS! - This initiative is bringing a free professional theatre group to almost every town throughout the fall for a performance of Drew Hayden Taylor’s SPIRIT HORSE by Roseneath Theatre of Toronto. - As a result of the P.D. and the performance, students and teachers will have an opportunity to “reflect, respond, and analyze” upon this theatre experience while supporting the new Arts curriculum.

  4. Two truths and a lie… • Think about three things you can tell the group about yourself . Make sure one of the things you tell us is not a truth. • The group will then try to decide which item was false. ICE BREAKER

  5. What Is Arts Education? • Think • Pair • Share • As a Professional Learning Community, what do we collectively feel that Arts Education is in an “Assessment Drives Instruction” atmosphere?

  6. Arts Education Is… WHATEVER YOU MAKE IT! Differentiating Instruction with Learning Through The Arts in various other curriculum areas.

  7. Sir Ken Robinson Schools Kill Creativity

  8. The NEW Arts Document, 2009 and Reporting Requirements • Broken down by grade vs. the strand • In addition to overall expectations, also lists Fundamental Concepts. Similar to “Big Ideas” in math, these are embedded in the specific expectations. • Provides teacher prompts for each specific expectation • Focuses more on Learning Through the Arts vs. the old Learning in the Arts.

  9. Growing Success: • On new reports, Drama and Dance have now been separated as two distinct strands to be reflective of the curriculum changes. • All strands must be reported on ONCE between Report 1 & 2 in addition to the progress report in the fall.

  10. SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS: Drama, Grade 3

  11. Begin by reading the first two or three pages of the story to your students. Then, put them into groups of three and assign characters (Ronald, Dragon, and Princess). Provide them with some time to brainstorm and develop some ideas of what they feel the princess should do next. (B.1.3) Then, have them work toward a brief presentation to perform their idea of where the story should go next. (B.1.1) Add a level of complexity to the task by limiting them to a series of tableaux only to present their story idea, like a human story board. (B.1.2)

  12. Today’s Session is all about IDEAS

  14. Creative Writing (not only in writing and creating comics, but also character development) • A fun way of having the students respond to texts critically. • A form of media/arts response that contains a lot of unwritten writing • Students can access and evaluate the success of each others’ comics, which leads to making inferences and thinking critically about the author’s intended message.

  15. What is Spirit Horse? Turn to page 5 of your guides Setting: The StoneyNakoda First Nation in Alberta which is shadowed by Wildwind Mountain.

  16. Think D.I., Think M.I., Think Arts! “ Education in the Arts is essential to students’ intellectual, social, physical, and emotional growth and well being. Experiences in the arts – in dance, drama, music, and visual arts – play a vital role in helping students to achieve their potential as learners and to participate fully in their community and society as a whole.” Revised Ontario Arts Curriculum, pg. 3

  17. PRE-SHOW ACTIVITIES TURN TO PAGE 6 CLIPS FROM THE SCRIPT TURN TO PAGE 8

  18. EXTENSION ON PRE-SHOW ACTIVITY USING TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA: • - have the kids create the scene they feel is going on in the play using BitStrips • MUSIC SOUND TRACKS IDEA • Go to www.ujam.com • Log in with my credentials (it’s still in Beta Version and I was lucky to get trial access) • User Name: dburke • Password: 7svXlbX7 • Have the kids develop some sound tracks to fit their scene • This can also be done using Mac program GARAGE BAND

I’m hoping to do less talking next time  • Be prepared to lead us all in an activity or two. • - We’re going to have time to do some collaborative planning to, as a group, decide how to keep the staff and students of our schools excited about the arts long after SPIRIT HORSE has gone.
