Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Use the video as a conversation starter or with a journal prompt asking students to respond to Mr. Rogers’ explanation and providing their own perspective on sharing their art, their anxieties about it, interest in it, etc.
- Use the video as an example of a video students could create to accompany artwork they have on display at a school or other public exhibition. What would they choose to say? Have students record their own “Why I Chose to Share This Art” video and show with the exhibit.
*Segment videos are short excerpts edited from interviews or interactive programs that offer flexible and differentiated ways to use the rich content included in the full-length conversation.
