Grade 7: This is week 12 in term 3. Students should practise twice this week outside of class. During the first class of the week quizzes will be handed back and reviewed. Then we will listen again to "Mars, The Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's composition for orchestra "The Planets". Students will be asked to describe more about the piece on their response sheets. For homework, students will complete the reflection sheet and show their understanding of the message of the music in one of the following ways:
create a piece of artwork which describes the meaning of the music
create a piece of writing which describes the "story" of the music
create a drama/movement routine which shows it's meaning
Homework: Reflection sheet and additional creative project due in one week
Grade 8: This is week 12 in term 3. Students have no instrumental practise this week. During our classes, we will begin our final project, "STOMP". We will form groups, select roles, define group rules and co-construct a rubric for the project. Using the Creative Process, we will begin composing and practising the first section, "A", for our routine.
Homework: Find materials at home to use for the group project and have them in school for next week's classes.
