Period C: DIY Arts and Crafts Join us for this fun and crafty student-led enrichment class! You'll learn from current Athenian Upper students to make Do-it-Yourself art projects to take home, such as: crochet toys, jewelry pieces and tie-dye clothes--plus more projects tailored to your choice. Our Student Instructors say their hope is that students can take home their creations and "enjoy the feeling of accomplishment of making something by hand. They'll feel more confident in their own abilities and eager to try new things." We hope you join us! This course will be co-taught by two Athenian Student Instructors, Izzy K. and Maya B. Athenian Student Instructors are selected to teach in our program, and complete training where they learn the basics of lesson planning, facilitation skills, youth engagement and materials management. Throughout the Summer they will have support from the Summer Admin team as needed. They are thrilled to offer this course to younger students. Period D: SLAMprov! It's Poetry Slam! It's Improv! It's ... SLAMPROV! Calling all poets and performers! We are a class that will be a hybrid of Poetry Slam and Improv! Students will learn how to craft powerful poems and perform them in front of each other and (if time allows) other assembled audiences. Students will also show off their acting and comedy skills by participating in a range of fun improvisation games. Whether you have a message that you want to get out in a creative way, or you love to act and have fun, this class is for you! Chris currently supports Athenian students year-long in the Learning Services Department, and also teaches 6th grade English as well as electives, focus days, homework club, and in many other capacities as a long-time Athenian Faculty member.
