When you bring a professional teaching artist directly into your classroom, you'll expand your students' appreciation for music, drama and theater through lessons that are aligned with your curriculum. The following programs are available for the 2007-2008 school year:
45-minute Interactive Workshop
In this interactive workshop, a teaching artist acts as a historical narrator and introduces students to Harriet Tubman's amazing story. Through a combination of music, drama and movement, students learn about Harriet's early life as a young slave and her work as one of the most famous conductors of the Underground Railroad.

| "The artist did an excellent job of being patient with all of the students and let them come up with their own ideas instead of supplying ideas for those who were struggling. The information presented was interesting for the children because much of it was "new" to them." —Janice Beaver, Schiel Primary School |
