5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent teacher's tool for literature and arts infusion!,
This review is from: Arts as Meaning Makers, The: Integrating Literature and the Arts Throughout the Curriculum (Paperback)
I discovered this book a few months ago and have been using excerpts to teach teachers how they can easily use the arts to support their literacy programs. Each section of the text has quick and easy ideas about ways to implement drama, music, art, and dance into the daily lessons of children grades K-6. National standards for the arts are summurized in each chapter along with "snapshots" of classrooms that implement these simple strategies. Resources are also provided so that arts activities may be tied to specific books for those readers that are unsure where to begin. The language of the book is easy to understand and follow, unlike many educational models that overwhelm the reader and bore the student. Since I have been using the text with my graduate teacher/students, I have been receiving positive comments about the fun ways to appeal to all learners. I highly recommend this text to classroom teachers, camp counselors, parents, and anyone who is tired of the traditional lecture learning style that is so often used in education today. I believe that if the reader practices the suggestions made in this text, they will reap the benefits of a robust and exciting learning environment.

True inspiration!,
By Thomas M. O'Neal (Springfield, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arts as Meaning Makers, The: Integrating Literature and the Arts Throughout the Curriculum (Paperback)
I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Cornett as my Integrating of the Arts teacher and used her book when it was first printed! Her ideas and love of the arts will empower your creative juices to flow! I use this book constantly and always find something 'new' to do with my students! It was written for every teacher! She really wants you to be the 'best of the best'!

Essential Resource,

This review is from: Arts as Meaning Makers, The: Integrating Literature and the Arts Throughout the Curriculum (Paperback)
Arts as Meaning Makers is in its second edition and has Literature more prominently in the title--but the internal content is the same for the most part. Full of suggestions and ideas you can build on in your classroom. Excellent literature list and connections between the arts as well as each of the arts and literature.
If you already integrate the arts, this may be less useful to you--but if you're only beginning, this will give you some solid starting points. If you need to justify what you're doing to your principal--there is a good chapter with some of the research that supports the inclusion of the arts in education.
