Infusing the Arts in the Common Core

Common Core and Music

Infusing the Arts in the Common Core Standards

The Common Core Reading (R.6) goal and the Common Core Speaking and Listening (S.L. 2, S.L. 5) goals address that students use a variety of multimedia skills in reading, speaking, and listening. It is through performance, production, and participation in innovative and creative multi-media projects using art and music that those goals are accomplished.

Transliteracy is in part how we live.

It only makes sense that the arts are embedded in the Common Core. The use of tech toys, simple recording and drawing apps will be presented, as well as how to organize a system of sharing and assessment. The CC speaking and listening standards 2 and 5 directly have the students use visual and sound through diverse media and formats.

The backbone of literacy for your classroom that is the skeleton of innovative and creative multimedia projects. A systematic approach of visual and auditory arts through the use of digital storytelling will enhance the common core goals within your classroom and district using the arts as the glue.

It's all about.....ME! Have a connection that the students can FEEL and SEE.

THE SAME PROJECT - Diversity is always present

Students select something that is all the same.

Examples - Football jerseys, Dolls, Balls, Lockers, Floor, teeth

1. Students take pictures, not video of the "same" object.

2. Students create a story around the same objects, each object could be a character.

3. Even though they are the "same" object, they all differ in one way or another. How the student orders the project, tells the story.

4. Music, words, and/or voiceovers on the project.

Fifth Grade Composer Project

I have always taught a composer lesson for the 33 years as a music teacher. It started with simple reports and gradually grew to an online sharing of the a musical project. At first I was concerned about students LEARNING about the composer, dates, and facts. I quickly realized that they were NOT learning music but facts. The moment I had the composer’s music as the project, that is when the students learned! So, you won’t see a lot of facts just hear a lot of MUSIC!
