Arts in Education Grant— Fall 2012-13 McDougle Elementary School PTA <br /> Proposed Uses of Grant Funds. <br /> We are seeking matching funds to pay artists' fees for the following two performances, which <br /> will be held on school premises in January and April 2013. <br /> Tired Souls: King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, presented by Mike Wiley <br /> Audience: 3, 4, 5 (--260 students representing MES diversity) <br /> Show length: 50 minutes <br /> Show date: January 2013 <br /> Study Areas: Social Studies, Theatre Arts, English Language Arts <br /> Mike Wiley is an incredible performer, who is based locally but travels widely for his <br /> performances. His one-man shows are riveting explorations into history that captivate <br /> audiences. His frequent use of audience participation throughout his shows ensures that the <br /> students are engaged and provide them opportunities to be a part of the experience. <br /> Tired Souls opens in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 -the day Rosa Parks <br /> refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man. Her determination was the catalyst that <br /> inspired Montgomery's black citizens to abandon all travel on city buses until they were no <br /> longer forced to sit in the back or stand when a white person boarded. But there were others <br /> who came before Mrs. Parks and laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls <br /> introduces audiences to Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others so instrumental in <br /> lighting a fire under the Civil Rights movement and changing the course of U.S. history forever. <br /> Category NC Essential Standards/Common Core Standards Addressed <br /> 3.H.1 Understand how events, individuals and ideas have influenced history of <br /> local and regional communities. <br /> Social 3.H.2 Use historical thinking skills to understand the context of events, people and <br /> Studies places <br /> 5.H.1 Analyze the chronology of key events in the United States <br /> 5.H.2 Understand the role of prominent figures in shaping the United States <br /> 3-5.A.1 Analyze literary texts and performances <br /> Theatre Arts 3-5.CU.1 Analyze theatre in terms of the social, historical, and cultural contexts in <br /> which it was created <br /> SL.3.2 Determine the main ideas and supporting details of a text read aloud or <br /> English information presented orally or through other media <br /> Language SL4.2 Paraphrase portions of a text read aloud or information presented in diverse <br /> Arts media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally <br /> SL.5.2 Summarize a written text read aloud or information presented in diverse <br /> media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and oral) <br /> Page 5 of 24 <br />
