Language Objectives in the Arts Classroom
FHS teachers- Chris will be looking for these on his arts walk-thrus as well.
Language Objectives
These objectives involve the four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), but they can also include:
- the language functions related to the topic of the lesson (e.g., justify, hypothesize)
- vocabulary essential to a student being able to fully participate in the lesson (e.g., , locate, highlight)
- language learning strategies to aid in comprehension (e.g, questioning, making predictions).
- Visual Art: Students will be able to read descriptions of the design concept of their plaster masks
Music: Students will be able to compare and contrast two measures of music to define the dynamics in each
Theatre: Students will be able to make predictions about a character's journey based on the exposition of a play or scene and write a five line monologue in the characters voice.
Ok teachers- your turn- play ! Ask me for for help or reach out to your EL department at your school- they are always willing to help.
This will be an expectation at every school for 2019-2020 so let's start the conversation now.
