1. Why should the literary arts be integrated into science, social studies, math, and other subjects? Integrating literary art into different subjects helps with the understanding of the arts, along with writing and reading. This is to include word-based materials (printed, digital and multimedia texts). Literary arts can be distinct word-based print art forms, that are integrated into the classrooms by teachers for decades. This is even more so for the language art curriculum. Literary arts come in all genres, it can be fiction or nonfiction, poetry, or all of them. This could include reading aloud daily, reading independently, and/or in small groups-based literature instructions. Literary arts can be interweaved as core information source for science, math, social studies, and even in history. This can give real life images of historical figures and faces to the facts of science. Literary arts can be available for nonfiction for nearly every topic, studies are no longer limited to one textbook. Studies show that math can have a great storyline as well. The textbook states that Russell (1994), wrote that children’s literature is a significant form of literary art for Art Integration. It has the ability to inspire aesthetic response and produce profound understanding, which widens the opportunity and the enjoyment of reading in all children. If there were no reading, the philosophies of the past would be gone endlessly and sent into the world with nothing. The other reasons as to why to integrate literary arts into other subjects is that it will add arts power to literacy, support active meaning construction, build empathy and respect for others, deepen understanding, give comfort and insight (bibliotherapy), fulfill aesthetic needs, provoke inquiry, stimulate moral thinking, reveal cultural and historical heritage, increase inquiry, increase literacy, vehicles for learning social studies, math, and science, and combat illiteracy and aliteracy. 2. What do teachers need to know to meaningfully integrate the literary arts? Teachers need to have literary understanding for meaningful integration. It contains background knowledge in the following: • History and definitions of children’s literature • Literary elements • Literary genres, forms, or types • Selection sources for good literature • Authors and artists of children’s literature • Common Core Standards for the English Language Arts • Literary meaning-making strategies, especially how to read and write literature • Approaches to teaching and comprehending literary content 3. How can classroom teachers collaborate with arts specialists and artists to plan and implement literary arts integration?
The teachers and arts specialists/artists will come together to plan a joint lesson. Equally, the content area and the arts area will be described during the planning and through the lesson. The teachers and arts specialist/artists will also construct the assessment that will assess both the content area and the arts rightly.
