I am using this Blog in lieu of my Action Research Blog site until issues with Mobile Me are corrected. I have lost all my data, so I will post here and transfer later.
In month seven, we studied music theory and how it relates to education. At first, I did not realize how deeply music can be embedded into the core curriculum. After I learned and experimented with music theory, I am changing my entire outlook and how to use music more in my lesson planning.
I wish I could share the movie my class and I made for my final project in MTA. I think the kids did an awesome job. The lesson plan was science, a study of the planets. I wrote the lrics and composed the music for a song about the planets which the kids rapped. We had a 5-day lesson plan to accompany the song. All students made 100 on their science test.
I was very pleased to say the least.
At first, the course was very challenging for me, but later, even though it was still a challenge, I totally enjoyed it.
