How does it work?
Students at Lyon School listen carefully as a senior visitor shares a memory of his/her childhood. The students ask follow up questions to better understand details of the story that might help them later recreate the story through images. They apply what they have learned in art class to help them create illustrations of the story. They re-tell the beginning, middle and end of the story in drama class through the creation of tableaus. The senior guests are invited back for a reception. During this time, the first grade students perform tableaus that they have created for each section of the senior’s memory. They share their original works of art with their guest too. Each senior is given a storybook of the memory they have shared with photos of the original artworks. |
