What is exposure?

• Exposure is bringing something to light and
  making it accessible!

3
Why is there a need for exposure?

• No matter where you teach, you will have students
  that will only see the world through your eyes
  and of course through MTV and Disney Channel.

Infusing the Arts and Test Scores

• Studies from the Mississippi Arts Commissions
  Whole School Initiative found
• You can help improve literacy skills in line with
  state expectations and provide reinforcements
  through infusing art activities.
• Students in WSI schools achieved proficiency in
  literacy as well as if not slightly better than
  both the state average for all Mississippi
  schools and a set matched comparison schools.

5
What I have found!

• If your school is incorporating the WSI in
  teaching the core subjects, your students are
  definitely benefiting from weaving in the arts to
  your instruction.
• If your school is not a part of the WSI, that
  does not mean you can not incorporated arts in
  order to reach students who have not thrived in
  the classroom and stretch those students who
  generally do well.
• Having students directly involved will develop
  students that are interested in learning.

My goal as a teacher

• I want to reinforce the competencies taught
  without it being a worksheet review.
• I want to expose students to as many forms of
  cultural experiences as possible.
• I want them to travel in my classroom through
  our novels and our history lessons.
• Because of our travels, I want their vocabulary
  to broaden and also be able to use these words in
  context.

The Black Stallionby Walter Farley

• Summary Alec Ramsey and the Black Stallion are
  the only two survivors of a shipwreck. While
  stranded on a deserted island, the boy and the
  horse develop a deep and special bond. After
  being rescued, the boy takes the horse home to
  New York, where he tames him, as much as the
  Black will be tamed, and prepares him for the
  world of horse racing.
