ACHF Arts Education
This activity will increase the quality of low-risk exposures (no cost to students, no time outside of school, 3-5 hours) to high quality theater for more than 140 students who live in an area that lacks informal opportunities to explore theater. 1) Student survey - interest in theater and the activity; 2) Student assessments - knowledge of drama and character motivations (content knowledge); 3) Event attendance.
Students gained a greater appreciation for the arts with a variety of active and highly engaging strategies. Active strategies also required students to explore character emotions, reactions, thoughts, and actions. See student survey for details.
