The Arts in Emergent Curriculum

In conclusion, I have come to formulate my own theory that students' multiple literacies and multiple ways of knowing can and should be powerful tools in creating a purposeful and effective classroom learning environment. Through many forms of art we may access students' desire to learn and tap into their inner creativity while giving them a meaningful and authentic means in which to gather information and skills.
