Hello all,
We enjoyed the start to the residency this week and working with all of you! What a pleasure to see it happening and to meet the great students there at Chowan Middle School as well.
Here's where we are -
• We all participated in a planning session with the three faculty members who will be coordinating individual aspects of the residency - choral/general music, drama, band, and visual art.
• There was an introduction and summary of the project to the students.
• Each 7th grade student in the general music, band, and art classes of Periods A & B, was asked to provide personal responses, reflections & journaling based on questions specific to the themes of civil rights & bullying (The question - Have you ever seen, witnessed, or experienced someone protecting another person's civil rights? Supporting elements to the question - Who? What? When? Where? Why (point of view)? and How was it resolved?)
The students work will culminate in a presentation which will include the collective efforts of all three courses for periods A&B; the presentation will take place as part of the May 9th event at the community center.
