Description

Using music as an impetus for stating and supporting opinions, students will develop skills and understandings in language arts and music. Creative thinking, vocabulary development, and structural understanding are necessary to explore the timbre of musical instruments and to share defending opinions in an appropriate genre. The students will compose an opinion poster based on a narrative about a train using percussion instruments. This will involve group work which can lead the students to write individual pieces in which they support their opinions using descriptive words.
