a+vengers : empowering 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 through superheroic re-storying
abstract
this portfolio is based on my understanding of the importance of promoting mental health and wellness in schools for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
. this project focused on the integration of specific mental health promoting therapies (narrative and creative arts-based) through pre-existing ontario curriculum, as facilitated in a local grade 9/10 drama classroom. in this class, i functioned as co-teacher, dramaturge, and conversational consultant in the creation of eight mental health-based plays—six of which also purposefully integrated comic book superheroes as a form of play—that worked to externalize and personify the research participants’ mental health challenges into defeatable entities. these 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
—the a+vengers—eventually performed their plays as part of a special one-night showcase, bringing their re-storied identities and narratives to life on stage. this portfolio is a collection of six chapters documenting this experience: (1) an introduction to the project/portfolio; (2) a literature review addressing contemporary mental health issues in schools; (3) a literature review explaining my approach toward alleviating these issues; (4) the methodology of my intervention; (5) the resources that the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
created as a result of my intervention; and (6) a reflection and conclusion about the experience in its entirety.
