Arts in Education Grant—Fall 2013-14 McDougie Elementary School PTA <br /> We are seeking matching funds to pay artists' fees for the following performances, which will be <br /> held on school premises in January 2014. <br /> One Noble Journey, presented by Mike Wiley <br /> Audience: 3, 4, 5 (-260 students representing MES diversity) <br /> Show length: 50 minutes <br /> Show date: January 2014 <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 /> One Noble Journey is based on the life of Henry"Box" Brown, an African American born into <br /> slavery in 1816 in Louisa County, Virginia. Although he was not subjected to physical violence, <br /> Henry's story demonstrates the cruelty of slavery was every bit as devastating to the heart as it <br /> could be on the body. <br /> Ca o ° 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 fgures in shaping the United States <br /> 3-5.A.1 Analyze literary texts and performances <br /> Theatre Arts .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 visuall , quantitatively, and orall <br /> LI Liu <br /> Audience: K, 1, 2 (--260 students representing MES diversity) <br /> Show length: 50 minutes <br /> Show date: January 2014 <br /> Study Areas: Social Studies, Dance, Music, Theatre Arts <br /> Li began performing in schools in 2005, at first collaborating with other circus artists, and <br /> eventually developing her own solo show. The performance includes hand balancing, plate <br /> spinning,trick cycling,foot juggling, ribbon dancing and Chinese water bowl manipulation. Li <br /> also touches on various aspects of Chinese language, geography and culture while sharing her <br /> work and travel experiences with the students and staff. <br /> The show is primarily geared toward elementary school audiences. Students get a hands-on <br /> shot at trying some of the easier(and safer!)skills such as ribbon dancing and basic plate <br /> spinning. They learn the historical significance of traditional lion and dragon dances and are <br /> encouraged to think about what it might have been like to grow up in a different time and place. <br /> Page 5 of 21 <br />
