Case Studies
Lights! Action! Learn!
Lynette Simon’s Lights! Action! Learn! project at Madison Elementary incorporated theatre to student teaching. Using a brain researched technique; students learned a variety of concepts in language arts, math, science, history, and even character education through the use of reader's theatre type musicals that reinforce standards-based teaching. Students were engaged in learning tasks through dramatic intonation, singing and acting, giving them an experience on which to "hook" newly acquired information, all the while having fun learning.
