I am a Teaching Artist in residence at two schools in Chicago for Chicago Opera Theatre. My colleagues and I team-teach students in grades 4-7. Through our lesson plans, students prepare their own version of an opera while also meeting Illinois learning standards. It’s tough sometimes, but I love it.  Here’s a link to my latest blog on that work: http://chicagooperatheater.typepad.com/education/2010/03/lisa-golda-teaching-artist-at-von-humboldt-elementary–this-week-students-at-von-humboldt-had-a-special-treat-cape-chicag.html
