Join EASTCONN's Arts at the Capitol Theater Educator, Stacy Vocasek, for an engaging session where educators will be introduced to activities that will help students find their own voices through analyzing, discussing, and writing narrative pieces. Students will get to share of themselves, build community, generate discussions, connect to art and literature, and create their own stories in a variety of ways.
Stacy Vocasek teaches English and creative writing at a performing arts high school in Connecticut. She lives in two worlds – that of an artist and an educator, and looks for ways to engage both of those worlds as much as possible. Most recently, Stacy has attended the Summer Teacher Institute at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, a National Endowment of the Humanities Landmarks Workshop titled Gullah Voices, and presented art-based reading and writing strategies at TEACH 2019.
Available for one-hour of PD credit. A certificate of completion will be available for download at the end of your session that you can submit for your school's or district's approval.

This webinar was very informative and eye opening.
A number of excellent examples to get students telling their stories including using songs, "Where I'm From" poem, and "Rambling Autobiography." I look forward to reviewing the presentation and taking time to consider how to integrate these engaging (on spot-on) activities into units and lessons on Names, My Family's Background/History, and Living Life.
Stacy Vocasek shares fun ways to use music and art with students to help them tell their story.
I can see where storytelling activities can be used in student small group counseling sessions.
