Episode Overview:
In Episode 13 of Coach-Up with Anna Roseboro, Anna continues her enriching summer series titled "Keeping Them on S.T. R.E.A.M.", a creative educational journey designed to reinforce student learning during school breaks. This engaging session offers tools, reflection prompts, and artistic inspiration to encourage young learners to connect academics with art, poetry, and personal growth.

The focus of this S.T.R.E.A.M. session is a deep dive into cross-curricular learning, using poetry, shapes, color symbolism, visual arts, and creative writing strategies to stimulate critical thinking and emotional expression. Anna uses faith-centered guidance and creativity to keep students motivated and intellectually active during the summer months.

Key Highlights:
  • S.T.R.E.A.M. Framework Refresher:
    • Emphasizes interconnected learning through Science, Technology, Religion, English, Arts/Athletics, Music, and Math.
    • Encourages holistic thinking through the use of math problems, poetic interpretation, cultural awareness, and visual analysis.
  • Math Meets Poetry Activity:
    • Students compute using personal data (birthdays, date math) and link the remainder to a page number in the Experienced Poems and Pictures book.
    • This activity fosters mathematical reasoning and selection of content for literary reflection.
  • Color & Cultural Significance:
    • Explores how colors carry varied meanings across cultures.
    • Students revisit a color symbolism chart and analyze visual art to discuss perception and the symbolism associated with it.
  • Featured Poem & Literary Analysis:
    • Poem: "Summer Storm" by Anna J. Small Roseboro
    • Recited by guest poet Chai Jaminga.
    • Encourages listeners to visualize the storm, consider metaphorical meanings, and reflect on its connection to historical or personal events.
  • Creative Writing Prompts:
    • Students respond using active voice.
    • Prompts include reflection questions rooted in the 5Ws (Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How).
    • Students practice writing about art pieces and connecting them to subjects learned during the school year.
  • Golden Shovel Poetry Exercise:
    • Anna introduces the Golden Shovel form, a poetic structure where lines or phrases from a source poem are integrated into new compositions.
    • Listeners are invited to use lines from Summer Storm to construct original poetic stanzas using their choice of poetic techniques.
  • Sensory Chart Writing Activity:
    • Incorporates five senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) across the four elements (earth, fire, air, water).
    • Prepares students for a richer descriptive writing experience.
  • Musical and Historical Reflection:
    • Song: "Someday We'll All Be Free" performed by Whitney Phipps is played.
    • Students analyze the connection between music, poetry, and historical events such as the Civil Rights Movement and more recent challenges.
  • Final Writing Challenge – Cube Poem (Trique):
    • Structure: 3 stanzas, 3 lines each, 3 syllables per line.
    • Encourages concise, rhythmic writing inspired by the episode's themes.
