This course integrates English into the Performing Arts pathway of the Arts, Media, and Entertainment CTE industry sector. Students engage in close reading of complex texts, analysis of historical and existing theatre applications and models, and apply both to a focused social-action arts project. Students begin by acquiring performance and storytelling skills with social impact. Once students have a basis for creating theater for social action, they will begin to mobilize their cause by measuring the potential impact of their performances. The course will culminate in focused research and analysis of the effectiveness of nonprofit arts organizations. | |
