Music Week 22

This week we began writing lyrics. Here is the process I took them through:

1. Make bubble diagram to outline ideas
2. Write paragraph about yourself
3. Take the lines from paragraph and begin to try to rhyme them.
4. Show an example of a professional rap and talk about rhyme scheme and content

Many of the students were very sucessful in creating lyrics while some struggled with the rhyming. I reminded the students that even the professionals don't always adhere to a strict rhyme scheme but they do have to rhyme.

In K-2 we reviewed our songs for the Black History Program and then we learned a new song called Who's On The Dollar Bill? It was a song for President's Day.
