> Get the most out of your students by integrating
> space science, art, and writing.  Find out how to
> teach the science content, expand thinking
> through art, and glue it all together with a
> strong writing piece.  In this workshop we will
> learn about the Sun and how it is celebrated
> around the world, water color Saturn and learn
> about its ring system, and soar through the solar
> system learning about its many diverse moons and
> planets.  You will leave with samples of writing
> and art you can use in your classroom now.

> THE SUN/SHADOW MANDALA (Grades 6-12)
> Kimberley Gilles
> Del Amigo High School - a California Model
> Continuation High School, Danville, CA
>
> The mandala is an ancient and beautiful art form
> rendered within the confines of a circle.  In
> this workshop, teachers will create an example of
> an autobiographical mandala that uses a powerful
> process of word choice and image placement to
> create meaning.  This project makes a great
> end-of-the-year  "Wow!  Look at me now!" project
> or a wonderful getting-to-know you project for
> the fall.  The mandala can also be used to
> explore the "sun" and "shadow" sides of
> characters in literature and history.  Come
> prepared to write, draw, explore, and share.

> PLAYING INTO WRITING (All Grades)
> John Levine
> College Writing Programs, University of California, Berkeley
>
> As much as we hate to admit it, sometimes writing
> is hard.  Sometimes we just don't feel like
> writing.  When you need a little push, the best
> way into writing is through playing.  Join us for
> a Saturday morning of writing as we find ways to
> make it fun through exercises and games that you
> can use for yourself and share with your students.
