- Summary:
-
An arts-in-education approach to teaching can be a vital and effective motivating force in a language arts classroom. One teaching strategy based on this approach is to design classroom activities that students can simply enjoy. Several activities that students have found enjoyable include building "happiness machines" based on Ray Bradbury's "Dandelion Wine," developing horror comics from Edgar Allan Poe's stories, and writing book reports in Shakespearian sonnet form. Essentials for using an arts-in-education approach effectively in the language arts classroom are that teachers list for themselves the activity's behavioral goals and objectives, that they review with students the kinds of learning experienced, and that they scatter usage of art strategies in flexible time periods between other kinds of learning activities.
