test

 I am testing something out for a class.

Four Seasons Project (part 2)

Here is the result of the 5th grade composition project I previously wrote about. (the "Four Seasons" Composition Project) I am not sure if all of the season are represented in the compositions I posted, but the students chose the seasons themselves.

These pieces are entirely created by the students.

Composition 1

Composition 2

Composition 3

Composition 4

Composition 5

Composition 6

After performing the compositions for the class (4 groups per class), the class shared which season they thought they heard. The performing group then shared which season they created and talked about the choices they made to create the season.

Most students reported a positive feelings about the experience. Some students were not happy with their composition, but they provided an opportunities to describe what they would have done differently if they could make all of the decisions for their group. Some students found it challenging to work with their group, but they were eventually able to compromise in order to create their composition.
