      <description> &quot;Since arts experiences offer other modes and ways of experiencing and learning, children will have opportunities to think and feel as they explore, problem solve, express, interpret, and evaluate the process and the results. To watch a child completely engaged in an arts experience is to recognize that the brain is on, driven by the aesthetic and emotional imperative to make meaning, to say something, to represent what matters.&quot; The Arts Go to School, David Booth and Masayuki Hachiya, eds. (Markham, Ontario: Pembroke Publishers, 2004), p.15 
(Arts Curriculum, page 3)

For example, have students draw abstract images (of trees, boats, flowers etc.), and add them to the gallery. Ask the class what each one is. Students will learn to see patterns, be more imaginative, be more generous in their interpretations, be less literal, and develop open minds. This can also be used to introduce new words or concepts to students or to help teach them about the spelling of different words</div>]]></description>

It explores what makes people happy and how people express joy in different ways, this can lead to discussions and activities about what makes students happy and find joy in each day.

This can also integrate environmental education because they are reusing materials and making sure nothing goes to waste.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Process of designing a learning story is thoughtful and complex.  Notice and name the learning that was made visible, think about your audience and respectfully share the learning in a way that invites new reflection and thinking.  It essentially makes the relationship of the learners and the educator (and our documenters!) visible as well.  How might this assessment tool that makes thinking visually visible have different advantages and who especially might appreciate stories of learning like this? Is the design of the Learning Story a creative process as well?<br><br></div>]]></description>

This also allows students the opportunities to express themselves in various ways.</div>]]></description>

Teachers lead them to ask three questions:</div><ol><li><strong>Where am I going?</strong> <em>Students are given, or in some cases create, clear criteria. This enables them to visualize success.</em></li><li><strong>Where am I now</strong>? <em>As they work, students receive timely, structured feedback from teachers, peers, and reflection on their own work.</em></li><li><strong>How do I get there from here?</strong> <em>Students decide whether and how to respond to feedback. Through revisions to their work, they deepen their learning and improve their performance.</em></li></ol><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol><li>Observation: <em>You can watch them think about their ideas, explore new techniques and processes, create things that inspire them, and make mistakes into happy accidents.</em></li><li>Think-Pair-Share: <em>This allows your students to share information with a peer. This can be done during or after a demonstration, artist presentation, or discussion.</em></li><li>Exit Tickets: <em>A quick way to grasp what they have learned is to give them an exit ticket. You can use a sticky note, note card, blank sheet of paper, or even create an exit ticket digitally.</em></li><li>Thumbs up/Thumbs down: <em>You can get a feel for your students’ comfort level with the process by asking them to give a thumbs up if they feel they are ready to try it out or a thumbs down if they need more instruction.</em></li><li>Interviews: <em>Having a discussion is powerful. As students explore centres, pull one student at a time aside to talk with them.</em></li><li>Critiques: <em>Do them with works in progress. This way, students can get peer feedback that may help push them to explore new ideas.</em></li></ol><div><br></div>]]></description>
