Students will do a number of activities that lead up to a final video project. The video will be an interpretation of music of today. With so much diversity, it almost reeks of educational possibilities. Today s students can not forget the decades preceding them. They shape the world we live in today, and lay the groundwork for decades to come.
Children learn best when learning is active.
This unit not only activates their minds, but their body and soul. Asking a student to act in front of a camera is asking them to expose their inner self to the rest of the world. This requires a tremendous amount of risk taking along with a self-confidence that shows they re not afraid. The video they will do will also give them ownership. By choosing a song to interpret and then choreographing an entire video, the video becomes theirs.
