Ideas about the arts and their place in the classroom are elaborated through this series of essays. "Radio Plays: A Close Encounter with Another Medium" (Norton A. Roman) discusses the use of old radio plays in the classroom. "Dynamic Dinosaurs" (Kathy Vajda) describes teaching a unit on dinosaurs to a kindergarten class. Lilyan Abramson combines reflections about her own experience as a child/student with a review of some of her own practices as an elementary school teacher in "The Arts in Social Studies." A teaching unit is described in "Nocturnal Animals" (Faye D. Freeman) in art, music, dance, and drama are used in studying the habits and activities of nocturnal animals. "Music in the Classroom" (Clivetta Johnson) discusses her experience as a music teacher reassigned to a fifth grade classroom and her integration of music into the basic curriculum. "The School Library Media Center" (Rhoda Katzenstein) describes some of the ways classroom teachers, art educators, and librarians can provide a coordinated approach to learning about the different arts, and how they can be coordinated with other subject areas. Each essay includes suggested student activities. (AEM)
