Rapporteur: Alison Hicks (University of Colorado, Boulder)

 

PRE-Texts© develops young people into avid readers and thereby sustains the future of libraries. This artistic approach to using books trains librarians, teachers, and artists to facilitate creative projects that stimulate interpretation and collaboration. Facilitators learn to engage students in explorations of literature as recyclable material, re-working classic texts into new creations. PRE-Texts© is a flexible approach to teaching literacy and a range of arts. It takes advantage of any library’s existing resources, including its local community of artists and teachers.

In our introductory workshop, a text will be the prompt for book-making, drawing, and performing. PRE-Texts© will turn conventional teaching upside down, starting with a creative activity rather than vocabulary and grammar lessons. Those lessons follow from the challenge to re-purpose elements of the text. Participants will experience how close creativity is to critical thinking and how much fun difficult literature can be when it prompts self-authorizing creativity.

[This workshop is limited to 25 people. Signup will begin on Sunday, June 17 after the Opening Session; see Paloma Celis Carbajal]
