| Dinosaurumpus! |
| Author: | T. Mitton |
| Source: | Children's Literature Book |
| Publish Date: | March 6th, 2003 |
| Summary: | Movement and sound effects are the focus in Dinosaurumpus! Tony Mitton did a great job expressing the uniqueness of all the individual dinosaurs while ending the story having found their commonality. This is a great movement story for all ages. Children really get into acting/dancing the story out if they are encouraged to participate during the read aloud. I would suggest reading the story once or twice, then encouraging the children to participate and follow along with movement or creative dance. In the intermediate grades, the use could be for teaching about using voice and colorful language in your writing to encourage your readers to “feel” the story. In the primary grades, this story could be used for encouraging more creative word choice. |

| Using Creative Group Techniques in High Schools |
| Author: | L.J. Veach |
| Source: | Journal for Specialists in Group Work |
| Publish Date: | January 1st, 2007 |
| Summary: | Groups in high schools that use creative techniques help adolescents express their emotions appropriately, behave differently, and gain insight into themselves and others. This article looks at seven different creative arts media--music, movement, visual art, literature, drama, play, and humor--and offers examples of how they can be used in groups for high school students. This is a great resource, because it seems that high schools are frequently overlooked in creative dance teaching. |
