Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

54 students (2 classes) and approximately 30 parent chaperones/teachers from Harrison Elementary will experience professional theatrical productions. They will also have the opportunity to experience the world-class art by having a docent tour of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The students will be evaluated through an on-site survey. Students will be asked about how they valued their experiences. Students will also write in journals highlighting their personal feelings and interpretations. Students will compare and contrast the live performance to classroom reading and/or movies.
