| For over 20 years LPT's Educational Outreach has received acclaim from teachers, parents and students throughout Southern California! Now Booking for the 2007 - 08 School Year Slam JAM!! For Elementary Schools! This high-energy production utilizes the same contagious blend of rhythm and percussion as our hit program BASH. To add to the fun, Slam JAM celebrates diverse forms of poetry—from Shakespeare and Robert Louis Stevenson to Maya Angelou and Tupac Shakur. It also uses the unique expressive voices of poetry to explore the real challenges and hilarious joys of everyday elementary school life: the ups and downs of friendship, the effects of rumors and gossip, the damage of bullying, the challenges of feeling different or alone. It also focuses on the value of staying in school and going to college, using a Spanish poem where a young woman recalls a second grade writing assignment, when she discovered her dream to one day have a classroom "with a pretty brown teacher… who looked a lot like me." 40 minutes - Appropriate for grades K-6 Available September 2007 — March 2008 Slam Jam assists teachers in addressing Academic Content Standards, and supplements curriculum in literature, social studies, and performing arts. "WOW! What a great show! Everyone loved Slam Jam! K-5 plus teachers were delighted with this fast paced presentation. It really held every age group's interest and is so applicable. The teachers were really bowled over." - Teacher, Chrerokee Point Funded by the Community Service Association of San Diego City Schools "At first I thought that it was going to be boring because it had the word poetry. I did not like poetry at first, until you guys came to our school. Now I love poetry. I give it a 10.0 and two thumbs up!" - Parent, Kate Sessions Elementary, Pacific Beach Funded by Union Bank of California Foundation Early American Voices: Colonial America through the Civil War New for Middle Schools! This new production in LPT's popular American Voices series follows the timeline of many U.S. History classes in San Diego County, but with a twist! Rather than lists of dates and events, this fast-paced roller coaster ride takes students through milestones and personalities using the vehicle of songs and literary pieces of the day. The words and music of writers such as Phillis Wheatley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Washington Irving, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Harriet Tubman illustrate the birth of our nation and its various growing pains and triumphs in its first 100 years. 45 minutes - Appropriate for grades K-12 Available October 2007 — March 2008 Our American Voices productions are broken down into several sections, with fun touchstones to help students grasp important concepts: • a key historical event, a quote or sound byte from a well-known figure • a bright idea, invention or innovation that changed the way people lived and thought • an arts feature illustrating building blocks in appreciating narrative and poetic forms of literature, as well as music. The American Voices series assists teachers in addressing Academic Content Standards, and supplements curriculum in literature, social studies, and performing arts. "Thank you so much for a fantastic performance that kept our students engaged, excited, and begging for more! We had great discussions based on all their questions about events, inventions, authors, and music. Since the assembly, we have built on some of the knowledge you provided by reading more on many of the poets you covered in the production." - Teacher, Farb Middle School, Tierrasanta Funded by the Thursday Club Foundation "I actually learned a lot about American history, thanks to you. You prove your point that learning can be fun!" - 7th Grader, Our Lady's School, San Diego We Bring: Set, Lights, Costumes, Sound System, and we use your stage or floor. We need approximately 18x18 feet of flat indoor space, with access to two electrical outlets on separate breakers.
