Not what I expected
| Customer Rating: | | I ordered "Integrating the Arts Across the Elementary School Curriculum" and "Art and Cognition: Integrating the Visual Arts in the Curriculum"and "Arts as Meaning Makers, The: Integrating Literature and the Arts Throughout the Curriculum". I was so disappointed to see this book had only a small section at the end of the book describing any lesson plans to use integrating art in the curriculum, and the book cost $55.00! I thought for that price I would have had a book full of information I could use in my classroom. I would not buy this book again, in fact I would like to get a refund. Surprisingly, "Arts as Meaning Makers, The: Integrating Literature and the Arts Throughout the Curriculum" turned out to be much more informative and useful and it was only $6.97. |
Must have book for teachers!
| Customer Rating: | | For some teachers, the idea of integrating the arts into the elementary classroom may seem daunting. The beauty of Gelineau's book is that she provides teachers with both the tools and activities necessary to make the transition seem far less overwhelming. There are sections devoted to each of the arts and within each section there are descriptors for all the elements that make up each art form. One of the most interesting things about this book is the introduction Gelineau gives at the beginning of each chapter. There is usually a definition of the art form as well as a historical perspective. Gelineau's book is completely user friendly in that it not only clarifies the concepts, but then offers clear activities for immediate implementation. All a teacher needs to do is to become comfortable with the arts. This is easy to do once you embrace the belief that the educational value of the arts lies in the doing and not in the outcome. The book is divided into seven sections. Chapters one and two deal with the power of the arts, while chapters three through seven discuss the specific art forms and how to integrate them into an elementary or middle school curriculum. Chapter seven entitled Making Connections gives some great ideas for connecting the arts to specific content areas. Because of it's easy to follow format and straightforward ideas; this book is truly a "must" for the teacher that wishes to incorporate the arts into a curriculum. |
