The Daily Concept
A Surefire Way to Ensure Students Bring Home More Then Just Homework
It's the age old question: what did you learn at school today? This question can be applied to the after school program as well, but often gets overridden by the ever pressing need to complete the students' homework. As vital as this component is, it sometimes waylays the equally, if not more crucial, need to provide students' with enrichment activities not found in the regular school day.
LitART CHOICES provides staff and students with a Daily Concept. It neatly summarizes the enrichment segment into a simple, memorable quote or idea that the students can take back home with them. For example, at the end of the day, after reading the Overview and Biography sections on Surrealism and Salvador Dali, staff writes "surrealism creates art based on the artist's perception of the world." It's direct and to the point, and students can tell their parents when they step through the front door. Carrying out CHOICES ensures that students learn 192 new concepts in a year!
