PART 1 (250 WORDS)

The Unit 8 Seminar focuses on integrating creativity across the curriculum. You should make every effort to complete the assigned readings for the unit before the Seminar so you will be prepared to discuss your topics.

1.      Compare and contrast the Reggio Emilia and High/Scope programs. How are creative thinking and the arts included in these two different settings? Which one do you think is the most effective and why? Be prepared to defend your argument to your fellow classmates.

2.      Defend the argument that a project approach should follow the interests of the children and is the most meaningful curricular approach for them. What can be done to ensure that the arts are a component in the project?

3.      Be prepared to share one activity that you have prepared for your Unit 9 Project.
