Education 318: Creating Meaning Through Literature
Reviewing the course Education 318: Creating Meaning Through Literature is an essential course. This course give me some knowledge of things that I should and would be incorporating when I become and Educator. In many schools now children are failing and may seem like school is boring. Plus, they may feel that they don’t understand what is being taught. However, when they enter their specials which can be music, art, etc, they are feeling that they can do anything and they are having fun. Well this course showed me how I and why we can incorporate those Arts into the curriculum so students view about education can change.
Additionally, implementing the Arts into the curriculum give me ways that I grab the attention of my students into learning the lessons. The arts integration believes that students can be creative in anything they do. Also, having a classroom culture can set the stage for learning. Having that spacious and welcome areas in class that students can be stimulated and diverse ideas can be spoken.

way, integrating the arts helps students it helps students distinguish new skills in themselves and peers. It also, stimulate comprehension in students. When it comes to implanting drama into the curriculum it can increase student’s enthusiasm to learn and continue learning. Also, can inspire students to think beyond what they know or see, impact their creativity. Another, benefit is it works with student’s communication, whether its verbal or nonverbal. In addition, dance and movement can assist with creative thinking, by thinking through movement. Also, movement helps with strengthening their concentration. However, dance and movement can increase student's confidence. Furthermore, I know that I must always use the multiple intelligence in class. Multiple intelligence is phycologist Gardner theory that students learning through different ways. The intelligence are musical, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic. Gardner also feels that the multiple intelligences empowers the learner not restrict them. With that stated I agree with hm. Knowing that students learn in different ways using the multiple intelligences chart is and each way for teachers to grasp the attention of the students. As well as, the students will put more into their work once they are learning a way that catches them. An example of using multiple intelligence with the curriculum his if students are learning about important individuals in history, they can create a rap song for the person they are talking about (musical multiple intelligence), or students can go to a history museum to understand more about the individuals (body-kinesthetic).
Nevertheless, there are many strategies that teachers can use to implement the arts into the curriculum, so students can get the most out of their learning.
One of the strategies for dance and creative movements dance echo which is having students make up a dance in a four count and other students must echo the dance. This strategy can encourage students to work on their memory (the dance moves) and being able to work with others. Another one is the conflicting messages basically tell a message as the opposite. Students can say the opposite of something and the other students correct them, such as 1+1=0but the class will say 1-1=0.Thirdly, using visual arts and the curriculum a good strategy I learn was, taking five different paints and finding out how many ways they can paint a box, making each side a different color. This will help students in math as well as being creative to paint the box in their idea without using the same
color.
Therefore, this course has help me in many ways. I will use the knowledge I have learn in this class and implementing into my student teaching and in my career now and in the future. Also, I learn how differentiation through the multiple intelligence helps create lesson that can fit each student in the class. With students having a positive note in class, they will be able to achieve anything possible.
