Editor's Notes
Make the point
KS Nutcracker
Could have described it
could have offered a text description
Pictures
Had us act it out as a group
Would have lost the music - context that this is part of the Nutcracker’s music score
Would have lost the cuteness
Seeing Nolan meaningfully included in the show
The whole cuteness factor
Transition here to how I see framing this to enhance our instruction and how we look at curriculum and make curriculum decisions based on the needs of ALL learners
