3.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Words!, March 27, 2006

This review is from: Creating Meaning Through Literature and the Arts: An Integration Resource for Classroom Teachers (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

While I am sure this book may have some good ideas in it, they would be hard to find. This book is very wordy. I was looking for a book full of integration ideas, this book is full of more justifications of why the arts are important. I know why they are important, what more authors (including this one) need to do is tell us simply and practically how to do it better.

This review is from: Creating Meaning Through Literature and the Arts: An Integration Resource for Classroom Teachers (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource to use in the classroom. I am a visual arts educator @ the elementary level and have found this very helpful in incorporating the other arts into my curriculumn, in particular movement. The arts are important to include across the curiculumn and you will find the examples helpful and easy to understand and incorporate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Claudia Cornett Sparks Interest, November 25, 2002

This review is from: Creating Meaning Through Literature and the Arts: An Integration Resource for Classroom Teachers (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I had the pleasure of having Claudia Cornett visit my school recently. She is a very energetic lady with a storehouse of great ideas! Her discussion, which was based on her book, made a whole room of teachers laugh and act silly. We were playing sock toss to help children with word chunks. We became actors with a simple pen. This pen became: a hairbrush, a microphone, a straw...

I can't wait to pick up a copy of this book and use all of the ideas in my classroom. Her energy and fire is contagious!
