Ellen Whyte Residency
We are very excited to invite Ellen for her fifth year conducting the artist in residency at Estacada Middle School. This year, we are adding a new component to the residency experience. In addition to working with the Social Studies department, we're introducing the Science Department to experience the work Ellen does in the classroom.
The goal is to infuse more creative approaches into the subject matter, thereby enriching the learning experience. This means students will have an opportunity to look at Social Studies and Science with an artistic emphasis.
Ellen is introducing the Social Studies students to culture. They began by identifying the aspects of what makes up culture. Next, they were introduced to African culture: drumming, dancing, singing, and storytelling. Following that, we will cover the Rites Of Passage in African culture: Birth, Adolescence, Marriage, Eldership, and Death. Each class is working with Ellen to creating lyrics for our class song for the performance.
The Science students will be already learning about ecosystems, life cycles and the food web of the African Savannah grassland region. Ellen devised a template of ideas in helping them produce creative projects that depict these areas of study. The task at hand is for the students to create their part in the program that will enhance what they're learning in class. Themed skits, songs, poetry, dramatizations, fact-finding, artwork and more will be represented at the final performance.
