Thank you Gillian for sharing. I have been following for years now. I first was introduced to imaginEd at a Pro-D. Gillian was the speaker. I have used art integration for most of my teaching practice… so this idea… just seemed to fit in with it so well. The first thing I did was–I decided to use storytelling to help teach concepts in science too. Here’s one example. Teaching electricity and the idea of opposite charges attract and like charges repel. So, I made up a love story based opposites attract. It worked! The kids made up their own stories too. They remembered and they understood the concept. I have been using it since.
Love the sounds of this Angelika. I am not surprised your students remember the content! Thanks for sharing your work and for being an imaginative educator…you might want to write a post for imaginED sometime?
