Vocabulary Rap

What's better than mixing music with rhyme? Fifth graders in Ms. Johnston's class are doing just that! They are creating vocabulary rap videos using new and important vocabulary words from each unit in math, science, and language arts. Their rap videos get televised to the rest of the school on the morning news broadcast. Kids are having a blast and increasing their vocabulary in the process!

Fifth Grade Video & Music Producers

In their final session of Aspire, fifth grade students explored the world of video and music production. Students worked in small groups to retell or transform scenes from a short story they had read. Their project plan included storyboarding, script writing, role assignment and lastly shooting the video. Students also explored an online music creation program called Soundation Studio which was very easy to use yet complex enough that they felt like they were actually in a real recording studio! This was a great introduction into the world of multimedia!
