Techniques from many different writing programs will be shared, and a dynamic writing workshop will be modeled and analyzed.","Description":"We will have a quick conversation about the merits of the performance arts in the classroom across disciplines. Then we will have a model workshop that pushes comfort levels, which we will then reflect on afterwards. After that, the participants will make their own performance activity with a case study student and field of study that we create. We will discuss these if there is not much time left \u2013 role play if there is more time left. I'll leave them with a packet of our activities and a sample curriculum to take home.","Link":["http:\/\/www.pypm215.org"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We are going to have a legitimate writer\/performer workshop that has the best of our practice and our best activities. We'll have another section where they plan there own activities and we'll act them out and do some good thought work with them. It will look nothing like a traditional presentation.","Presenter":["Matthew Kay","Cait Miner","Greg Corbin"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Philly Youth Poetry Movement"],"PresenterEmail":["matt@pypm215.org","greg@pypm215.org","cait@pypm215.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":14,"ScheduleLocationID":6,"SubmitterID":62,"AdditionalComments":"n\/a","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":2}}
