Professional Learning for Educators: IN MEDIAS RES – How One Story Becomes Another

Professional Development Workshop for teachers of grades 3–12 • Presented by Darrell Bourque, PhD., Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette

See! Think! Wonder! In this workshop, participants will view paintings in the AcA’s main gallery exhibit, “In Medias Res: How One Story Becomes Another Story,” and turn oral stories into written text. We will investigate how images can be used in the classroom for students to develop a plot, narrative and character dialogue in creative writing.
