Recording visual images is the most basic of reading comprehension strategies. All elementary school students and ELL students love to draw their visual images to show how they interpret author's descriptions. As they read, they can add more detail to the settings they draw, facial expressions to show characters' reactions to the events. This kind of art is essential to comprehension from the lower grades right through high school.
Check out the ways that Kuumba Lynx is integrating the arts (workshops) in park districts, schools, ensemble performances and poetry slams. They are the first ensemble to create a MIDDLE SCHOOL city-wide poetry slam called - HALF PINT POETICS
Hey Sonjatia - consider posting your excellent resources up above in the discussion forum - that way the resources can be broadcast in a week in review (they have a url) and they will be nicely archived. Stuff on the wall tends to get lost over time! Thanks - Ry
