Slide 3: The Big Idea (pages 78-79): If we do not integrate art, and music into our children’s lives at a young age then we could be taking away the possibility of granting them higher IQ scores, as well as well developed fine motor skills.
Slide 4: What’s in it for your audience? Explain why your topic is important or worth discussing: If we incorporate the arts into a young child’s life we can give them the potential to excel in mental, and physical tasks. This topic is important because the young children of today’s society will one-day lead our future society.

My son is 19 months old, and right now is a key learning time for him. He is learning to really follow along with beats, and he’s starting to comprehend how to color, holding a crayon, which will lead to learning how to hold a pencil, and learning how to write.
Slide 6: Call to Adventure (pages 38-39): The future of our society lies in the hands of today’s children. If we give them the gift of the arts, starting at a young age, our society will dramatically benefit in given time.

3. Children with musical or artistic influence in their lives show to have higher test scores, and a higher IQ
Slide 8: Introduce and set up Supporting Point One: Music gives children an advantage in different learning fields
Slide 9: Factual or emotional evidence: “Recent studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language, and can actually wire the brain’s circuits in specific ways. Linking familiar songs to new information can also help imprint information on young minds,” the Children’s Music Workshop claims (quote/facts from PBS Parents)
Slide 10: Factual or emotional evidence: Teaches children how to be disciplined, working together, managing performance (Facts from PBS about benefits on nonmusical tasks)
Slide 11: Introduce and set up Supporting Point Two: The arts provoke Social, Emotional, and fine motor skills in children’s senses.
Slide 12: Factual or emotional evidence: Art allows children to progress, and master skills at their own rate (facts from Earlychildhood News) (Tell about how children learn in steps—simple to complex)
Slide 13: Factual or emotional evidence: Art is not just about colors, it also involves aspects of math (facts of how math, and art are related) (Ideas on how to incorporate math into art--- patterns, shapes, negative space)
Slide 14: Introduce and set up Supporting Point Three: Supporting Point 3: Children with musical or artistic influence in their lives show to higher IQ rates, and the capability to learn at a quicker rate
Slide 15: Factual or emotional evidence: Children who take music lessons have improved IQ points (tell about case study who take music lessons from PBS) (Tested 3 points higher)
Slide 16: Factual or emotional evidence: Link between music and spatial intelligence (Explain spatial intelligence) (Personal opinion on Braxton progressing quickly)
Slide 17: Call to Action (pages 42-43): Spend an hour a day with your child working on a craft or learning to play an instrument to make a big impact on their attitudes, and actions.

Point 3: Children with musical or artistic influence in their lives show to higher IQ rates, and the capability to learn at a quicker rate
