Why Use Thematic Media Playlists in the Classroom?
•Using media provides a common experience for all students.
•It connects them with faraway places and people they might not have the opportunity to
meet in person.
•When using media about local professionals, it connects students with their communities
and inspires career ideas.
•Thematic playlists provide deeper exploration of topics, and evidence of how people
interpret a similar topic in different ways. CCSS ELA standards call for students to
“Compare and contrast the treatment of similar themes and topics from different cultures.”
How Does the Use of Arts-Focused Media Support the Common Core?
• The Common Core calls for “content rich” curricula and the use of a
diverse array of texts, which includes videos.
• The Common Core asks students to practice close observation and
provide evidence to support their opinions.
• Common Core requirements in Math, English, and Language Arts
crossover with artists’ Studio Habits of Mind.
• Art is accessible, and most people can quickly relate to it or form an
opinion about it.
CCSS Math:
Make sense of problems and
persist in solving them. Artists
consider problems and persist in
communicating them.
CCSS Speaking/Listening:
Include multimedia components (e.g.,
graphics, images, music, sound) and
visual displays in presentations to
clarify information. Artists present
information through images.
Guiding Principles for the Arts in CCSS Curriculum Development
by David Coleman, CCSS Author
Study works of art in close observation to prepare student to create art and perform.
Engage in deep study of art to develop students’ own art and arts literacy.
Study the social, political, and cultural contexts of art and connections with other subjects.
Study arts-associated careers and artists’ design choices and aesthetics.
Developing a lifelong curiosity about the arts, and understanding that art transcends time.
