Chapter 4: Language Arts
What you need to learn in this chapter
This chapter introduces students to the joy of rhymes, poems, and songs, fostering a deep appreciation for literary works. Students will explore how to express personal responses to these texts, developing a connection to the material that goes beyond just reading.
Through engaging activities like jazz chants, poems, and songs, students will improve their ability to listen, recite, and sing with correct pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation. They will also learn to respond to literary texts by identifying key elements such as characters, settings (place and time), and values, allowing them to analyze and understand the deeper meaning of the works.
Additionally, students will develop their creativity by planning, organizing, and producing their own creative works based on the literary texts they engage with. This includes using various media to express their responses and preparing for a performance with guidance, further enhancing their ability to communicate ideas and emotions through artistic expression.
By the end of this chapter, students will be able to enjoy literary works through both verbal and non-verbal responses, confidently participate in performances, and creatively display their understanding of literary texts.
