Project in music and drama with mentally retarded children

It is believed that music and drama woven into a created script may be an effective tool in assisting the mentally retarded child in his emotional growth and development. It is also believed that music and drama may have some educational values which as yet are untapped. In considering these values the writer sought to explore the following questions. 1. Does the use of a created script in which the lines and music have been prepared for the children encourage spontaneity? 2. It appears that Educable Mentally Retarded children have difficulty with language, especially verbalization. Can music and drama assist these children in overcoming this particular language difficulty? 3. Because of their difficulty in the academic sphere, Educable Mentally Retarded children tend to have a lower self- concept. Does being included in a dramatic production tend to raise this self-concept? 4. Cooperation among groups of people is necessary for good socialization. Did the children cooperate among themselves in order to perform the dramatic production? 5. Self-discipline is required in order to perform a dramatic production. Schedules must be maintained, rehearsals diligently carried out, and timing must be correct. Was this self-discipline seen by the children as a necessary endeavor in order to build the dramatic production, or did they become bored or resentful because or the work? 6. Did the teachers of the children involved in the dramatic production reel that there were some educational values to be derived from such a project

Promotion of Critical and Creative Thinking Skills through the Teaching of Poetry

This curriculum project has developed gradually over the past fourteen years during which time I have been teaching in the public elementary schools. I have always loved poetry; therefore it seemed natural to make the reading of poetry a standard part of my curriculum even in my first years of teaching. As the years went by and my own increasing enjoyment in reading poetry was coupled with and encouraged by the positive reactions of the children I taught, it seemed only natural not only to read more poetry in the classroom, but, also, to begin to do some exploration of some poems in terms of asking questions about them - both factual and speculative. I began to collect poetry books and to read poetry to my pupils every day
