Brian Lenosky and I, two teachers from Bethel Park High School presented a session with Jordan Crosby from the Education Department of Carnegie Museum of Art to the National Council of Teachers of English Annual Convention, in San Antonio, last month. Our presentation highlighted our great experiences with CMA and particularly with Life on Mars. This International continues to be a topic of conversation with our students--it's so engaging!
At the heart of Bethel Park High School's reflections and writing on the Life on Mars experience has been this website and blog. We English teachers are still exploring ways to use our experience to motivate student writing, thus deepening and extending student reflection on and experience with the art (again, largely through the rich offerings of images, bios, and videos, and other documentation to be had here on this website) and our art teachers are working with their students to create reaction art.
Anyone interested in our presentation to the NCTE can visit the NCTE2008 Ning for more information and printable materials. Scroll down and see the attachments on the session discussion page.
