Literacy Project: EDU 150 (Performance and Presentation Skills for Teachers)

This semester EDU students in Tracy Wyant’s EDU 150 (Performance and Presentation Skills for Teachers) classes are embarking on an exciting journey with second grade students at the World of Inquiry School in the Rochester City School District. MCC students will be collaborating with the second graders to co-author children’s books and create performances that address curriculum standards. This service learning project will culminate in a celebration of literacy at an Author’s Tea on April 7 & 8, 2010, held at the World of Inquiry School, where MCC students and second graders will share their creations with kindergarten classes, their families, and community.
