=Shari Mastalski Teaching Artist= =Residency with Oil City Area School District= =May 2013= Also see http://artinaction.wikispaces.com/Pilot+Residency+with+SMastalski and http://artinaction.wikispaces.com/Mastalski%2C+Shari

This residency involved two groups: Jenn Schulte's Middle School ES Class and Rachelle Barnhill's PREP High School Class.
=HIGH SCHOOL PREP CLASS= There were two components to the work with the PREP Class. We worked on creative dance and story-telling concepts, improvisations, and composition during the first period homeroom. We worked on Titanic research projects for Mrs. Hardy's class during second period. We intertwined and overlapped these two aspects so that the projects drew on the dance concepts, and the dance concepts were organized around the Titanic Unit. It was a wonderful collaboration with Mrs. Hardy, Mrs. Barnhill, Mrs. Seigworth, Mr. Riley, and teaching artist, Shari Mastalski.

=MIDDLE SCHOOL ES CLASSROOM= There were two periods covered by the residency in Miss Schulte's classroom. During period nine, we focused on math lessons. Generally, we worked outside in the pavilion where we could draw with chalk on the concrete. During period ten, we had some of the same students as period nine along with the period ten students. Sometimes we continued with the math lesson. At other times we pursued additional creative dance concepts, improvisations, and compositions. Our final work was a jump rope rhyme written with the classroom super hero theme.

Everyday Super Hero

If I were a super hero

I’d read somebody’s mind

I’d be a shape shifter

I could stop time

If I were a super hero

I’d read somebody’s mind

I’d make a billion water bottles

I could stop time

If I were a super hero

I’d read somebody’s mind

I’d transform into a Ferrari

I could stop time

If I were a super hero

I’d read somebody’s mind

I’d be invisible

I could stop time

I’m an everyday super hero

Everyday super hero

I can be…

Kind

A help

Respectful

Loving

Courageous

Considerate

Friendly

Comical

Powerful

Caring
