IRS990/Desc0ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROGRAMSVirtual Bookmaking Summer CampIn the summer of 2020, teaching artist Perla Yasmeen Melndez led an online bookmaking summer camp. 20 students (ages 8-11, grades 3-6) participated for six weeks. Each week featured a different method of bookmaking. Supplies for activities were dropped off on the doorsteps of all students, so students were able to work with the same materials and feel connected to each other despite the distance. Song & Story Summer CampIn the summer of 2020, Chapter 510 & the Dept. of Make Believe paired nine elementary school students (ages 8 - 10, grades 3-5) with nine local, professional musicians. Led by teaching artist Tiffany Golden, the students in Song & Story Camp wrote original songs that were composed and recorded by their musicians. The songs were arranged for guitar and ukulele and published into a songbook titled Freedom Is, illustrated by local artist Dawline-Jane Oni-Eseleh, and the album is available on Spotify. The young songwriters bemoan the global pandemic, dream of a peaceful planet, and celebrate their strongest selves. Hope reigns supreme.Free Virtual Story Appointments for OUSD ClassroomsChapter 510 beamed our magical, fun, and fantastic storytelling fiend trips into OUSD Zoom classrooms all throughout the year. Our staff and volunteers (including volunteer illustrators) brought 10 original books to life written by over 350 OUSD 2nd-5th graders. Each student received their very own book bound in our bookmaking studio at the end of the year. Redefining Justice Poetry Postcard Book Project with Hoover ElementaryIn the fall of 2020, teaching artist Perla Yasmeen Melndez led an online in-school book project with Hoover Elementary fourth-graders. Titled Redefining Justice, this poetry workshop invited each student to define what the word justice means to them through poetry, using concrete imagery and drawing from personal experience. Each student was paired with a professional, local illustrator who illustrated the students poem, using a postcard template provided to them. The forthcoming book, to be published in fall of 2021, will be a bound book of postcards that can be torn out and sent to a friend. The front of the postcard will feature the illustration and the back will feature its corresponding poem.Sing My Name: Virtual Musical Writing Workshop With the vision and leadership of Teaching Artist Tiffany Golden and musician Eli Wise, twelve OUSD 3rd-5th graders (ages 8-10) wrote a full-length musical titled Iceville. Meet Bubby, a non-binary kid set on time traveling back in time to save the world (and their parents) from the evil, enviroment-destroying scientist Mala. Each student was paired with a local musician or playwright. The musical playbook will be released fall 2021.MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMSVirtual Middle School Poetry Workshops and 7 novels published Published poet and Teaching artist Giovanna Lomanto and Perla Yasmeen Melndez both lead year-long poetry workshops for 20 Oakland middle schoolers, keeping them connected and writing throughout the pandemic. Melndez workshop, Bend Like Water will culminate in a published anthology to be released in fall 2021. To keep our connection with Westlake Middle School, we published and celebrated two novels a month written by Westlake students in our Writers Room in 19/20. Each month during the school year Westlake and Chapter 510 hosted virtual community celebrations where the students read excerpts from their novels alongside their writing mentors and illustrators. New Dawn Rising Sci Fi Screenplay Writing WorkshopChapter 510 teaching artist and childrens book author Tiffany Golden led a year long sci-fi screenplay writing program for 10 seventh and eight graders on zoom. Each student was paired with a professional writing mentor who supported them with the screenplay. The program culminated in a final online table read where the students played different parts in each others scenes alongside their writing mentors a
