Common Core Content Standards
Easily apply these content standards in your classroom:
- 7-8.RH.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary specific to domains related to history/social studies.
- 9-10.RL.3: Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations)
develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the
theme. - 11-12.RL.5. Analyze how an author’s choices concerning how to structure specific parts of a text (e.g., the choice of where to begin or end a story, the choice to provide a comedic or tragic resolution) contribute to its overall structure and meaning as well as its aesthetic impact.
Lesson Plan Idea
Students create a book cover or movie poster highlighting the characters in the story. Students compare and contrast Ailey II with another dance performance from a different genre (i.e. The Nutcracker, ballet folklorico, hip hop, etc.)
Extend your field trip to LBC with Art Talks!
Take your students on a self-guided tour of our Sculpture Garden. Thoughtfully restored following the 2017 firestorms, our Sculpture Garden is designed to reflect the local Sonoma County landscape. In the Garden, there are two picnic tables with smaller versions of the sculpture elements that you see in the landscape. If you like, have students find new ways to arrange the colorful pieces. Then please leave what they have made for the next visitors to enjoy.
