"Our mission in Studio 113 is to utilize students' individual gifts and talents in conjunction with the AP Language, American Literature, and World Literature curriculums. Through a diversity of teaching structures and variety of authentic assessments, students are encouraged to explore their own creativity and imaginations while demonstrating mastery of the Georgia Performance Standards.  Project assignments include movies, original music and music videos, Whose Line Is It Anyway? skits, soundtracks, commercials, pamphlets, catalogs, short stories, poetry anthologies and much more.  We also accept students' appropriate project proposals, as long as the standards are thoroughly addressed.  Instead of a traditional, sedentary classroom structure, students in Studio 113 are guided towards self-awareness and recognition of worldly realities under the umbrella of learning structures that utilize and tap into multiple intelligences.  Ultimately, we as educators seek to foster an environment that promotes freedom of thoughts and expression"

"Gardner's theory initially listed seven intelligences which work together: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal; he later added an eighth, naturalist intelligence and says there may be a few more. The theory became highly popular with K-12 educators around the world seeking ways to reach students who did not respond to traditional approaches, but over time, "multiple intelligences" somehow became synonymous with the concept of "learning styles." In this important post, Gardner explains why the former is not the latter."

"So what would a lesson for students look like if it was inspired by something shared from the teacher's iPod? The purpose of this page is to answer that question. It contains many writing across the curriculum lessons created by many amazing teachers from nearly all curriculum areas. Each lesson is tied to the writing process, the writing traits and a "mentor text" which, in each poetry lesson below, is the song and its lyrics. Read, enjoy, and give some of them a try. We will consistently be adding great lessons to this page. Perhaps yours will be one of them."
