This morning, 5th grade wanted to watch me dissect one of the sheep eyeballs that I had left over from 3rd grade. I’m starting to be an expert at cutting those up! (That’s something I never thought I would say…)
Then we worked on trying to make a music video using an app on the iPads and the song, “Hall of Fame” by The Script. I am in the process of getting permission from the band to use their song, and am keeping my fingers crossed that they will give us the go-ahead. I like the message of the song – to try your best to reach your goals, and to not depend on luck.
The students brainstormed what they could be doing during the video, and one of them came up with the idea of using picture frames around their faces to make it look like a Hall of Fame. So, each one wrote one of the professions he or she aspires to, and attached it to the frame. Then they worked in groups to come up with movements for the other parts of the song.
We are not quite finished. Hopefully we will have time after our Toyota field trip next week to complete it and polish it up.
