Crabapple Middle School

George,

Thank you for inviting me to perhaps work with Meghan and Nicole,and I am glad that Dr. Buell will consider the ’20 Schools’ Project.

As we discussed, I suggest the teachers go to my website andconsider a few arts-based strategies this Spring, and then collaborate andblend some into a couple Arts Integrated Units for use in the Fall.

As for Arts-Based Strategies, I suggest they try:

The HumanParagraph, The Vocabulary Dance The 6-Panel Story Board – with drawings

As for collaborative unit development, I suggest they starton my website at http://benjaminsystems.com/id104.html

Then they could write to me and we could get on the phoneand reflect.

Sorry my timing was off, I return from China on June 1stand school will be out.

But I will be available by email all the time, and we canuse Skype and talk when we can work out a time – I will be 12 hours ahead, andget up very early, so 6pm here is 6am in Hong Kong, and on most days that wouldbe fine…..by prior arrangement.

Best Regards…..
