High-tech filmmaking in town this week

[FEB. 22, 2002]  School technology coordinators from around the country gathered at the Academic Development Institute in Lincoln on Wednesday and Thursday to learn how to create new classroom learning opportunities through the use of digital video.

This workshop, conducted by Scott Fulk and John Redding, is just a small part of ADI’s role in the Community for Learning school change initiative in 46 schools around the country.

In the picture, workshop participants Jocelyn Riley and Bruce Fuller, both from Washington, D.C., schools, learn from Fulk (left) and Redding how to edit digital video on a Macintosh laptop.

Storytelling ‘Fox’ comes to Lincoln

[FEB. 2, 2002]  There was a new voice this week at Washington-Monroe elementary school.  It traveled around from class to class, encouraging and strengthening the voices of the children.  And it belonged to a man known as the "Fox."

[Click here for more pictures]

Brian “Fox” Ellis is a professional storyteller and teacher.  Hailing from Peoria, he travels all over the country telling his stories and teaching children to tell theirs.  This week, thanks to grants from the Illinois Reading Council and the Illinois Arts Council, children at Washington-Monroe wrote stories about their own lives and then learned to tell them to others in entertaining and exciting ways.

The lessons started on Monday with a personal performance for each of the third- and fourth-grade classes.  Ellis told the children both personal and historical narratives and gave them examples that he could refer to later of what it is to tell a fascinating story.  Then the children worked on ways to collect stories, both from interviews and from their own past.

Each child was asked to choose a memory of their own and write a story from it.  They worked the rest of the week learning to edit, rewrite, tell and retell their stories.  In this last process, the retelling, Ellis took the children through the three aspects of good storytelling:  voice, body and imagination.

In Mrs. Singleton’s class, he started with a simple “ma, me, mi, mo, mu” vocalization, in which each vowel is held, warming up the voice.  Then all the children read their stories at once, each concentrating on his own.  They worked on making their voices loud and clear, using interesting sound effects and dialogue, and putting feeling into their every word.

For “body,” Ellis worked with the children on putting action into their stories, both in the words and in their movement.  First, they underlined all the verbs in their stories.  Then he taught them to make those verbs more interesting.  For example, instead of saying, “We went fishing,” Ellis told the process of pulling out the worm, sliding it onto the hook, throwing out the line and reeling it back in.  He also had them include adverbs:  quickly, happily, annoyingly.

[to top of second column in this article]

Once the children knew what the characters in their story were doing, they had to act that out.  After a quick stretching (part yoga, part Hokey-Pokey), the children again read their stories to themselves, but this time they had to work on actions to go with their action-words.  Many of the kids were a little shy at first, but eventually most of them jumped and danced and, in the case of one boy, ran in circles.  During this telling, Ellis and Mrs. Singleton walked around and gave suggestions and encouragement.  One very important piece of advice Ellis gave was that they must always remain standing, acting out sitting by crouching and lying down by leaning.

In the final stage, imagination, Ellis told the children they must be in the story as they tell it.  “Your story is a time machine.”  The children told their stories one last time, trying to incorporate all three parts.  Only this time, they told their stories to partners, who then had to give two pieces of encouragement.

This final telling, however, was more than another practice; it was an audition.  Each class produced three children who were to perform for others.  One child from each class was chosen to tell their stories to parents and classmates at the school’s Family Night, which was Thursday.  The other two students told their stories to the other classes involved in the program.

The students in Ellis’ classes seemed to adore him.  Even days after he told his stories, they repeated them with the enthusiasm of the first telling.  And it is no wonder.  Ellis’ manner was perfect for the children.  He gave his instructions intelligently, but in phrases the children could remember, such as “Detail, detail, detail!” and “Sloppy copy” (rough draft).  He also gave them real-life applications, saying that a job interview is just the telling of your own life’s story.  “The one who tells the best story wins.”

Chester-East sweeps Mathcounts, advances to state

[FEB. 22, 2002]  The Chester-East Lincoln Mathcounts team took first place at the regional competition, which was at Millikin in Decatur on Saturday, Feb. 9. Nine area schools were represented at the competion. The team from Johns Hill school finished second. This was a reversal of the results last year, when Johns Hill finished first and C-EL took second.

The C-EL team members are Alison Kessinger, Kevin Huelskoetter, Troy Tolan and Aarom Meyrick.

The individual written competition consists of two tests. The first has 30 problems to be solved without a calculator. The second has eight problems that permit the use of a calculator. Alison placed first and Troy placed seventh in the written round.

The top ten finishers from the written round advance to the oral competition, where pairs of individuals compete against each other before an audience. The competitors are given 45 seconds to solve a problem and respond. The first contestant to answer three questions correctly wins the round. Troy defeated six other contestants on his way to the championship round, where he lost to Alison after being tied 2-2.

The team round consists of 10 problems that the four team members are allowed to work on together.

[to top of second column in this article]

"All of the team members have worked hard on the many skills necessary to compete successfully at this level," coach Rader said. "Although neither Kevin nor Aaron received individual honors, the scores they received and their contribution in the team round made it possible for the entire team to advance to the state competition. Their reward is another month of after-school practice and work on math problems."

The C-EL team finished first in the overall standings and will advance to the state Mathcounts competition in Chicago on March 9.

[FEB. 21, 2002]  The annual Logan County Spelling Bee took place at the Logan County Courthouse on Feb. 20. There were 14 school representatives involved in this year’s contest, which went 11 rounds and consisted of 71 words. The Regional Office of Education and the Pantagraph sponsor the spelling bee jointly. 

Alison Kessinger, daughter of Brian and Colleen Kessinger, was this year’s winner. Alison is in the eighth grade and represented the Chester-East Lincoln Elementary School. She won by correctly spelling the word "turbulence."

David Finnigan, a sixth-grader at Central School, placed second, and Donavan Dye, an eighth-grader at New Wine Christian, was third.

Mary McKeeth from the Bloomington Public Library was the pronouncer.

A Pantagraph representative, Ellen Colbeck-Taylor, presented the winner with a trophy, and George D. Janet, regional superintendent of schools, presented new dictionaries to the final three.

The three young people will represent Logan County at the Pantagraph Spelling Bee on March 23 in Bloomington. The competition will be at Westbrook Auditorium in Pressor Hall on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University.

You can help junior high students go to band camp

[FEB. 4, 2002]  The Lincoln Junior High School band director, Chad Minier, is continuing the tradition of giving scholarships to band members who are interested in going to band camp. The junior high plans to send more than 15 students to band camp this year at the University of Illinois in Champaign and Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

Band camp gives students the opportunity to meet and perform with band students from all over the country. Participants have many rehearsals and classes throughout the day. College professors and college students direct ensembles and teach the junior high students. Band camp participants learn about music history, theory and even composition. The camps always end with a concert featuring all of the students.

Students stay on campus in dorms during the band camp.

Many students do not have the opportunity to go to camp. The camps are very expensive. Lincoln Junior High wants to give all band students the chance to have a challenging but fun experience in music.

[to top of second column in this article]

Band camps are not just work. Students are given the opportunity to attend concerts, go on picnics, swim at the campus beach, canoe on the campus lake, attend dances and participate in many other fun activities.

The average cost of band camp is around $400. Last year the Lincoln Junior High band was able to award $200 scholarships to more than 10 students. Community members and generous businesses donated money to help band students have new and inspirational experiences in music.

Lincoln Junior High will be accepting donations toward band camp scholarships throughout the school year. Donations can be dropped off at the school office, at 208 Broadway. Checks should be made out to Lincoln Junior High Band Boosters.
