Quarter 4 – Week June 1-5
Welcome to 4th Quarter! It is going to be a busy few months. As much as I want to surprise you all with a fantastic show, I know students will need your help and support this quarter so here it is: we are preparing for an end of the year showcase featuring music from the 1960’s! Students will not only learn and perform 2-part music from this decade but will also plan and implement the event including costumes, artwork, and ambiance.
We will also be studying non-violent protest music from this time influenced by Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement. This will include lyric analysis and shared inquiry discussions.
This week we will get the choir back up and singing! We are starting two songs (I will at least try to keep which ones secret!) and students will be doing some independent research on the culture of the 1960’s to prepare themselves for our big adventure.
