  57. <p>February 1st marks the start of Black History Month <em>and</em> is the birthday of multi-hyphenate artist <a href="https://www.arts.gov/stories/blog/2014/jazz-poetry-langston-hughes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Langston Hughes</a>. <em>Note: we have <a href="https://creativelearningatx.wordpress.com/2020/04/30/langston-hughes-ask-your-mama/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">another post</a> about his epic poem </em>ASK YOUR MAMA: 12 Moods for Jazz<em> on our blog. </em></p>

  61. <p>Among the numerous material in Hughes&#8217;s <a href="https://beinecke.library.yale.edu/collections/highlights/langston-hughes-papers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">archive</a>, held at the Beinecke Rare Book &amp; Manuscript Library, is a series of <strong>rent party cards</strong> from the 1920s-1950s. Starting in Harlem in the 1920s, Black tenants hosted these parties in their homes out of creativity and necessity to cover the financial gap between wages and &#8220;discriminatory rental rates,&#8221; <a href="https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/03/rent-parties-langston-hughes-collection-of-rent-party-cards-photo.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Rebecca Onion (citing Sandra L. West) in <em>Slate</em></a>. The practice of throwing rent parties still occurs today. For example, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOqwLovRm0&amp;t=226s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">housebound musicians livestreamed performances from their apartments during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic</a>.</p>

  65. <p><a href="https://collections.library.yale.edu/catalog/10034118" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hughes&#8217;s collection of rent party cards</a> offers insight into what attendees experienced. Hosts used cards — each about the size of a business card — as savvy marketing material, to entice people to come to <em>their</em> party, as multiple parties occurred on the same night. Hosts often hired musicians (or perhaps found volunteers from their social circle) to perform. Refreshments were available, sometimes for an extra fee. All of these arrangements sought to ensure a good, lively time, well-worth the price of admission. Rent parties contributed to the development of <a href="https://timeline.carnegiehall.org/genres/stride-piano" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stride piano</a>. This fast, syncopated style <a href="https://www.jazz88.org/articles/Harlem_Rent_Parties/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reduced the need for a larger ensemble of musicians</a>, who would have taken up space in the living room and cost more to hire!</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <p>This activity takes inspiration from jazz poet &amp; aficionado Hughes, celebrates the ingenuity and creative expression of rent party hosts, and asks participants to tap into their own identity while collaborating with a group.</p>
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. <ul>
  74. <li><strong>Summary:</strong> Participants will learn about rent parties and how they were advertised, choose an instrument that speaks to them personally, assemble into small groups (these groups are the rent party musical ensemble!), and brainstorm where, when, and what kind of rent party they will throw. </li>
  75.  
  76.  
  77.  
  78. <li><strong>Age groups: </strong>The activity can be used and adapted for elementary students up through adults (e.g., at professional learning workshops). </li>
  79.  
  80.  
  81.  
  82. <li><strong>Resource</strong>: Austin ISD staff, note that the children&#8217;s book <a href="https://www.leeandlow.com/books/rent-party-jazz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Rent Party Jazz</em> by William Miller</a> is available digitally via HMH and can be used as part of the lesson. <a href="https://youtu.be/JvKaVLLXa30?si=WuODxI0-DbC8v3ix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Here is a YouTub</a><a href="https://youtu.be/JvKaVLLXa30?si=WuODxI0-DbC8v3ix">e video of actor Viola Davis reading the book outloud.</a></li>
  83.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86. <li>This activity can be adapted and extended in many ways (ideas included below).</li>
  87. </ul>
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Directions</h2>
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. <p>First, make sure your students or participants understand the context and history of rent parties and what they entailed. You might show archival material, available via links above and other publicly available online articles.</p>
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. <p>Then, introduce the activity prompt: We are throwing a rent party, and we need to cobble together the entertainment. But before we can do that, I need to know: realistically or fantastically speaking, if you were  an instrument, what would you be and why? <em>Alternative question: if you could play any instrument, what would you play and why?</em></p>
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. <ul>
  104. <li>Before you give participants think-time to select their instrument and justify their choice, tell them that they can choose <em>any</em> instrument. They do not need to be limited <em>only</em> to instruments they think would have been at a rent party in Harlem, or an instrument that would fit in a living room or be part of a jazz ensemble. (Of course, an alternative could be that you do have them choose from instruments used in jazz ensembles!)</li>
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108. <li>Encourage them to think about all the musical forms and instruments out there in the world (factory/professionally-made or hand-made).</li>
  109.  
  110.  
  111.  
  112. <li>Ask: what instrument has qualities or characteristics you like in yourself, or want to see for yourself?</li>
  113.  
  114.  
  115.  
  116. <li>Younger learners may need a list of instruments or examples of instruments (you could show images or play music so they can hear what the instrument sounds like). You may want to brainstorm as a class the adjectives or characteristics that could describe those instruments, so students have a word bank to choose from.</li>
  117. </ul>
  118.  
  119.  
  120.  
  121. <p>Next, participants will need to get into small groups. At a professional learning event our team led, we had people arrange themselves (as their instruments) in the room according to an orchestra seating chart/map, which was projected on screen. We explained that the projector in the front of the room represented the location of the conductor. In our chart/map, strings were in front and fanned out to the sides, woodwinds stood in the middle with brass behind them, and percussion spread out in the back of the room.</p>
  122.  
  123.  
  124.  
  125. <ul>
  126. <li>As people are moving about the room to arrange themselves, consider that your orchestra seating chart may not account for everyone&#8217;s chosen instrument. Encourage people to think about which instruments are kin or cousins — similar enough to their instrument of choice — and stand near that spot.</li>
  127.  
  128.  
  129.  
  130. <li>The seating arrangement we used is similar to what students might see at the Austin Symphony. It grew out of one used by Leopold Stokowski of the Philadelphia Orchestra in the 1920s, an approach that gained popularity in the United States. <a href="https://www.dallassymphony.org/community-education/dso-kids/orchestra-seating-chart/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">This Dallas Symphony website</a> has several seating charts showing how western orchestra arrangements changed over time, up through the modern period.</li>
  131.  
  132.  
  133.  
  134. <li>Once people finish moving, ask them to form small groups with the people nearby. Give these groups time to share the instruments that they chose, and why.</li>
  135. </ul>
  136.  
  137.  
  138.  
  139. <p>After the groups finish sharing, you could have the groups or sections share out quickly with the entire class the instruments they represent; or you could continue on to the next part of the activity.</p>
  140.  
  141.  
  142.  
  143. <p>Announce to everyone: Your group <em>is</em> the band for your rent party! Tell the groups: Given who you have in your ensemble, I’d like you to decide: What city or town are you in? What’s the party vibe? What time of day is the rent party happening? Give people time to talk in their small groups.</p>
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. <p>Depending on how much time you have conclude the activity by:</p>
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. <ul>
  152. <li>Inviting each group to share out with the room.</li>
  153.  
  154.  
  155.  
  156. <li>Asking the groups to pair up to pitch their party, and see if they can entice others to come over!</li>
  157.  
  158.  
  159.  
  160. <li><em>Extend the activity:</em> Give each small group additional time to design their own rent party card, complete with a catchy rhyme, information about refreshments, music, potentially dancers, and cost. <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11fjZjS7lAyPLuLQRM9GN1eBMnZ2dNXmHCDHUybLhngs/copy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">We have a rent party card template (Google Slides) you can copy here</a> (examples shown below). Then you could have each group share their cards.</li>
  161. </ul>

  211.  
  212.  
  213.  
  214. <p>When Lucy Hamre was in a Creative Learning class in the second grade, she said she doesn’t remember being taught through traditional means, but remembers learning a lot.</p>
  215.  
  216.  
  217.  
  218. <p>“It was more beneficial than worksheets or textbooks because we were the ones creating what we were learning about,” Hamre said.</p>
  219.  
  220.  
  221.  
  222. <p>The Creative Learning Initiative uses Creative Teaching, a research-based, instructional approach drawn from the arts that puts students at the center. Creative Teaching is not what but how teachers teach curriculum, empowering and engaging students across all subjects throughout a student’s educational journey.</p>
  223.  
  224.  
  225.  
  226. <p>The Initiative focuses its work around three pillars: sequential visual and performing arts, community arts partnerships, and Creative Teaching across the curriculum.</p>
  227.  
  228.  
  229.  
  230. <p>Students might write a song about a science subject, create a sculpture to represent a theme in a story, or re-enact a historical event.</p>
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. <p>Sloan McLain is the MINDPOP Education Director and Austin ISD Creative Learning Initiative Design and Implementation manager. She was also Lucy&#8217;s second-grade teacher at Brentwood Elementary.</p>
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238. <p>She says that the Creative Learning Initiative was put in place so that all students have access to the arts.</p>
  239.  
  240.  
  241.  
  242. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about equity,” McLain said. “It exists to ensure that every student has equitable access to creative teaching in the classroom, and it uses the process of the arts and creative learning to help kids learn.&#8221;</p>
  243.  
  244.  
  245.  
  246. <p>Since 2013, the Creative Learning Initiative has reached thousands of children who have been able to learn in unique ways that don&#8217;t require a textbook. The program initially began through outreach from community members in Austin to implement more equitable access to the arts in public schools.</p>
  247.  
  248.  
  249.  
  250. <p>Lucy Hamre is now a senior at McCallum High School and often thinks back to her time in McLain’s second-grade class.</p>
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. <p>“In our class we would make a song about the water cycle or step into roles as a mayor or a judge to learn about how city government worked,” Hamre said. “We were able to make things on our own, and it was set up so that we understood what we were learning on a deeper level.&#8221;</p>
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p>Hamre has been able to use strategies she learned in her second-grade class as she has gotten older, making learning fun and engaging.</p>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p>&#8220;It takes the strictness out of learning,” she said. “It’s fun; looking back, none of it ever felt forced. I didn&#8217;t have to sit down and listen to teachers talk all day.&#8221;</p>
  263.  
  264.  
  265.  
  266. <p>McLain said it&#8217;s no surprise that Lucy is continuing to benefit from creative learning.</p>
  267.  
  268.  
  269.  
  270. <p>“Lucy was a critical thinker who followed her curiosities and asked clever questions,” McLain said. “She used her voice, kindness, and courage to make her learning her own and believed in herself, and the creative process and she continues to do that to this day.”</p>
  271.  
  272.  
  273.  
  274. <p>Austin ISD is a lead partner in the Creative Learning Initiative, a nationally recognized, community-wide partnership among the district, MINDPOP, the city of Austin, and more than 100 community arts partners.</p>
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. <p>“The kids are the creators,” McLain said. “The kids are interpreting each other&#8217;s work, and it&#8217;s really the teachers using this structure to help the kids find their own meaning. It&#8217;s really about how we can help kids think more deeply about what they are learning and see themselves in their learning so they have a voice and feel like the learning is for them.”</p>
  279.

  306. <p>Cuando Lucy Hamre estuvo en una clase de Aprendizaje creativo en segundo grado, ella dijo que no recordaba haber recibido la instrucción por los medios tradicionales, pero recuerda que aprendió mucho.</p>
  307.  
  308.  
  309.  
  310. <p>&#8220;Era más provechoso que las hojas de trabajo o los libros de texto, porque nosotros éramos los que creábamos lo que estábamos aprendiendo&#8221;, dijo Hamre.</p>
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. <p>La Iniciativa de Aprendizaje Creativo usa la Enseñanza Creativa, que es un enfoque de instrucción basado en investigaciones y tomado de las artes, que pone a los estudiantes como el centro. La Enseñanza Creativa es básicamente cómo los maestros enseñan su plan de estudios, empoderando e involucrando a los estudiantes en todas las materias a través de la trayectoria educativa del estudiante.</p>
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. <p>La Iniciativa enfoca su trabajo basándose en tres pilares: artes visuales, secuenciales y escénicas, asociaciones de artes comunitarias y Enseñanza Creativa en todo el plan de estudios.</p>
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. <p>Los estudiantes podrían escribir una canción sobre un tema científico, crear una escultura para representar un tema de historia o representar un evento histórico.</p>
  323.  
  324.  
  325.  
  326. <p>Sloan McLain es la directora de Educación de MINDPOP y supervisora de la Iniciativa de Diseño e Implementación de Aprendizaje Creativo del Austin ISD. También fue la maestra de segundo grado de Lucy en la Primaria Brentwood.</p>
  327.  
  328.  
  329.  
  330. <p>Ella dice que la Iniciativa de Aprendizaje Creativo empezó para que todos los estudiantes tuvieran acceso a las artes.</p>
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. <p>&#8220;Todo está relacionado con la equidad”, dijo McLain. &#8220;Existe para garantizar que cada estudiante tenga acceso equitativo a la enseñanza creativa en el salón de clases y utiliza el proceso del aprendizaje creativo y de las artes para ayudar a los niños a aprender&#8221;.</p>
  335.  
  336.  
  337.  
  338. <p>Desde 2013, la Iniciativa de Aprendizaje Creativo ha llegado a miles de niños que han tenido la posibilidad de aprender de formas extraordinarias que no requieren un libro de texto. El programa empezó originalmente por medio del compromiso con los miembros de la comunidad de Austin para implementar el acceso más equitativo a las artes en las escuelas públicas.</p>
  339.  
  340.  
  341.  
  342. <p>Lucy Hamre ya está en su último año en la Escuela Preparatoria McCallum y frecuentemente recuerda cuando estaba en la clase de segundo grado con McLain.</p>
  343.  
  344.  
  345.  
  346. <p>&#8220;En nuestra clase inventábamos una canción sobre el ciclo del agua o desempeñábamos los roles del alcalde o de un juez para aprender cómo funcionaba el gobierno del ayuntamiento&#8221;, dijo Hamre. &#8220;Podíamos hacer cosas por nosotros mismos y se adaptaba para que entendiéramos lo que estábamos aprendiendo a un nivel más profundo&#8221;.</p>
  347.  
  348.  
  349.  
  350. <p>Hamre ha podido usar estrategias que ella aprendió en su clase de segundo grado a medida que va madurando más, haciendo el aprendizaje divertido e interesante.</p>
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. <p>&#8220;Le quita lo estricto al aprendizaje&#8221;, dijo ella. &#8220;Es divertido; mirando atrás, nada se sentía que era forzado. No me tenía que sentar y escuchar a los maestros hablar todo el día&#8221;.</p>
  355.  
  356.  
  357.  
  358. <p>McLain dijo que no le sorprende que Lucy siga beneficiándose con el aprendizaje creativo.</p>
  359.  
  360.  
  361.  
  362. <p>&#8220;Lucy tenía un pensamiento crítico, se adentraba en lo que le daba curiosidad y hacía preguntas inteligentes&#8221;, dijo McLain. &#8220;Usaba su voz, amabilidad y coraje para apropiarse de su aprendizaje y creía en sí misma y en el proceso creativo, y continúa haciéndolo hasta hoy&#8221;.</p>
  363.  
  364.  
  365.  
  366. <p>El Austin ISD es un socio líder en la Iniciativa de Aprendizaje Creativo, una asociación reconocida nacionalmente con toda la comunidad del distrito, MINDPOP, el ayuntamiento de Austin y más de 100 socios de artes comunitarios.</p>
  367.  
  368.  
  369.  
  370. <p>&#8220;Los niños son los creadores&#8221;, dijo McLain. &#8220;Los niños están interpretando sus trabajos entre ellos y son realmente los maestros los que están usando esta estructura para ayudar a los niños a encontrar su propio significado. Se trata en realidad de cómo podemos ayudar a los niños a pensar más profundamente acerca de lo que están aprendiendo y verse ellos mismos en ese aprendizaje para que tengan una opinión y sientan que el aprendizaje es para ellos&#8221;.</p>
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. <p>El aprendizaje creativo se está implementando actualmente en los equipos verticales de Akins, Anderson, Bowie, Crockett, Eastside, LBJ, McCallum, Navarro y Travis.</p>
  375.  
  376.  
  377.  
  378. <p>Históricamente, se selecciona cada año un nuevo equipo vertical para participar. El distrito tiene como objetivo para los próximos años ofrecer el programa en todas sus escuelas.</p>
  379.

  788. <p>Austin ISD families and caregivers can bring their students’ classroom experiences home in fun and engaging ways to deepen conversations and amplify learning. Let’s take a closer look at the Creative Teaching strategy: <strong>Statues</strong>!</p>
  789.  
  790.  
  791.  
  792. <p>In classrooms, we use <strong>Statues</strong> to show our thinking. At home, we can use Statues to express ideas or feelings, or represent concepts or events, and then talk about what that topic means to us.</p>
  793.  
  794.  
  795.  
  796. <p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
  797.  
  798.  
  799.  
  800. <ul><li>First, discuss: What do we know about statues? Responses might be:<ul><li>They are <strong>still</strong>. They are <strong>silent</strong>. Even though they do not move or talk, they <strong>communicate</strong> <strong>an</strong> <strong>idea.</strong></li><li>Ask: what else?</li></ul></li></ul>
  801.  
  802.  
  803.  
  804. <ul><li>After talking about the characteristics of statues, think about something each of you learned today that is sticking with you. It could be a vocabulary word or character, a science or math concept, a feeling or social-emotional concept, or a person or event from history. Once you have your idea, share it verbally.</li></ul>
  805.  
  806.  
  807.  
  808. <ul><li>Now each of you should <strong>create a statue</strong> to represent or reflect this idea. Use your whole body and face! Hold your pose. Take a look at each other’s statues. You may want to take turns <em>being your statue</em> and <em>looking at the other person’s statue</em>.</li></ul>
  809.  
  810.  
  811.  
  812. <ul><li>Take turns asking the reflection questions below. Each of you will respond based on what you see in the other person’s statue.<ul><li>How would you describe this statue? What do you see?</li><li>What could be happening in this statue?</li><li>How does this statue represent the topic?</li><li>What statue could you create to represent my idea?</li></ul></li></ul>
  813.  
  814.  
  815.  
  816. <ul><li>You can recreate your statue if you need a reminder of what the statue looks like. Wait to tell each other <em>why</em> you created your statue until after you’ve answered the questions! You can start with the words: “This statue shows…”</li></ul>
  817.

  860. <p><strong>Mes de CLI: Estatuas</strong></p>
  861.  
  862.  
  863.  
  864. <p>Las familias y los cuidadores del Austin ISD pueden llevar a casa las experiencias del salón de clases de sus niños de formas divertidas y motivadoras para profundizar las conversaciones y amplificar el aprendizaje. Veamos más de cerca una estrategia de la enseñanza creativa: ¡<strong>Estatuas</strong>!</p>
  865.  
  866.  
  867.  
  868. <p>En los salones de clases, utilizamos las <strong>estatuas</strong> para mostrar nuestros pensamientos. En casa, podemos utilizar las estatuas para expresar ideas o sentimientos, o representar conceptos o eventos, y luego hablar sobre lo que significa ese tema para nosotros.</p>
  869.  
  870.  
  871.  
  872. <p><strong>Instrucciones:</strong></p>
  873.  
  874.  
  875.  
  876. <ul><li>Primero, discutan: ¿Qué sabemos sobre las estatuas? Las respuestas pueden ser:<ul><li>Se quedan <strong>quietas</strong>. Son <strong>silenciosas</strong>. Aunque no se mueven ni hablan, <strong>comunican una idea.</strong></li><li>Pregunten: ¿Qué más?</li></ul></li></ul>
  877.  
  878.  
  879.  
  880. <ul><li>Después de hablar sobre las características de las estatuas, piensen en algo que cada uno de ustedes haya aprendido hoy y que los haya dejado pensando. Podría ser una palabra de vocabulario o un personaje, un concepto de ciencias o matemáticas, un sentimiento o un concepto socioemocional, o una persona o evento histórico. Una vez que tengan su idea, compártanla verbalmente.</li></ul>
  881.  
  882.  
  883.  
  884. <ul><li>Ahora cada uno de ustedes debe <strong>crear una estatua</strong> que represente o refleje esta idea. ¡Utilicen todo el cuerpo y la cara! Mantengan su pose. Vean las estatuas de los demás. Podrían tomar turnos entre <em>ser su estatua</em> y <em>ver las estatuas de los demás</em>.</li></ul>
  885.  
  886.  
  887.  
  888. <ul><li>Tomen turnos para hacer las preguntas de reflexión de abajo: cada uno de ustedes responderá con base en lo que ven en la estatua de la otra persona.<ul><li>¿Cómo describirías esta estatua? ¿Qué ves?</li><li>¿Qué podría estar pasando en esta estatua?</li><li>¿Cómo representa el tema esta estatua?</li><li>¿Qué estatua podrías crear para representar mi idea?</li></ul></li></ul>
  889.  
  890.  
  891.  
  892. <ul><li>Pueden recrear sus estatuas si necesitan recordar cómo era la estatua. ¡No les digan a los demás <em>por qué</em> crearon su estatua hasta después de que hayan contestado las preguntas! Pueden comenzar con las palabras: &#8220;Esta estatua muestra&#8230;&#8221;</li></ul>
  893.  
  894.  
  895.  
  896. <p>Estas caricaturas de gatos están utilizando todo el cuerpo para crear una estatua. Si cada uno de estos gatos representara una emoción o una palabra de vocabulario, ¿qué sería?</p>
  897.
