PROJECT

Curricular Areas: Music, ICT, Language.

Learning Opportunities & Skills: Video/audio creating editing and sharing, collaboration, composing and performing music, group work.

About this Unit: Students have fun exploring the subject of music and sound by investigating innovative composition and performance ideas. Based on the assumption that music should elicit an emotional response, students investigate several musical genres before composing and performing their own music, live, to an audience.

ACTIVITIES

Station 1: Sound Walk
Students use mobile devices to record the sounds around them. They use AudioBoo to share their interpretation of the musical components in their recordings.

Station 2: Sketching Songs
Students begin to understand the functions of lyrics in a song and share their emerging understanding through the use of interactive images e.g. ThingLink.

Station 3: Stomp City
Students use Mural.ly, a collaborative multimedia tool, to present information gathered in an e-investigation.

Station 4: Our Stomping Ground
Students use Mural.ly, a collaborative multimedia tool, to present information gathered in an e-investigation.

Station 5: Stomp: The Sequel
Students investigate the possibilities of using on line applications and tools (ComicLife, Padlet, Twitter, Facebook) to publicise a musical performance.
