Graphic Scores Unit

By MsNerdWood

Looking for a way to have some fun while learning music? Look no further. This Graphic Scores Unit will have your students exploring how to represent sound using graphics and composing in no time! There are 3 main lessons included in this unit, however, the last lesson will likely take 6-8 lessons to put together and perform. This unit is one I have used with my own students so I know how much fun they have with it! The great thing with graphic scores is you don't really need any instruments to compose which makes this unit even better if you're teaching music on a cart or have limited resources available.

Overview:

This graphic score short unit exposes students to what a graphic score is. They get to represent sound using graphics and compose their own graphic score using found sounds. Students will learn how sound and music can be represented using graphics. They will practice representing a short piece of music through graphics. After, they will represent common soundscapes using their own graphics and will then create their own graphic score to perform. I created this in Google Docs/Slides so that you can customize this unit to your own unique needs.

Learning Goals:

  • We are learning how to represent sounds and music using non-traditional notation.
  • We are learning to compose a piece of music using found sounds and represent our sound using graphics.

Success Criteria:

  • I can represent sound using graphics.
  • I can compose a piece of music with a group and perform it using my score.

What’s Included:

  • Lesson Plans and Ideas
  • Google Slides Lesson on Graphic Scores (including original composition to practice creating graphic scores)
  • Graphic organizer for students with fill in the blanks about graphic scores
  • Graphic organizer for students to represent original composition as a graphic score
  • Graphic organizer for students to represent soundscapes using graphics
  • Graphic score for students to create their own graphic scores
  • Rubrics to mark graphic score assignments
  • 3 Stars and a Wish for peer feedback

FRENCH MATHS | SANS CAHIER/PAPERLESS | NOMBRE ENTIER/WHOLE NUMBERS | INTEGERS

By French Made Fun!

Having trouble visualizing how to "break down" math concepts and how to structure your teaching? New to this grade level or unfamiliar with "how" to teach it? Tired of passing out worksheets? If you're wanting to try something else to see if your students become more engaged and confident in math... Look no further. No book? No problem. Printer broken? No problem. Multi-levelled or split classrooms? No problem.

Imagine math classes that require zero prep, zero paper, zero planning, and slides which not only prompt your students to engage, discuss, solve and prove their understanding, but prompt you to teach concepts at a slow, realistic pace? Imagine not having to write down examples on your board and having more time to assess your students in real time. This document does just that.

This is one my paperless teaching products; where my 74-page Slide Deck will take your hand and guide you to teach following a workshop model. I provide ample explanations, examples, step-by-step instruction, assessment and answer keys. Apart from the assessment materials at the end of this document, it requires virtually no printing. It just requires you (or anyone!) to be there to follow the Slide Deck.

This was created (and used!) for students in grades 5-7 and works great for older students on IEPs, students en adaptation scolaire, as revision for older grades, or for online learning. Partner work and independent work are imbedded in the slides. Students receive many guided explanations so they can work independently.

Let me teach you - and your students - how integers work.

This document covers the following concepts:

  • What is an integer? ;
  • A game about selecting whole numbers ;
  • Negative and positive integers on a number line ;
  • Zero is neither negative nor positive ;
  • Whole numbers have opposite numbers ;
  • A game about opposite numbers ;
  • Co-create rules for opposite numbers ;
  • Language used for integers (positive and negative connotations) ;
  • Compare whole numbers using symbols ;
  • A game about choosing the right symbol ;
  • Order the integers on a number line ;
  • Use the number line as a strategy for arranging whole numbers.

In addition to the 56-page slide deck, there are 18 pages of printable assessments (9 activities and 9 answer keys) which can be used as check-ins, formal or informal assessment, revision, printables for a substitute or just for independent work. There are answer keys for all printable assessments as well as answer keys imbedded throughout the Slide Deck for your students to reference throughout their learning.

Painting Art: Watercolor Boat Reflections.

By Art Shack by JB

This creative Watercolor Boat Scene was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I asked students to brainstorm a boat/vessel that they wanted to have in the water, and water kind of body of water they wanted in their artwork. We discussed Winslow Homer, and his style of art. Students sketched their drawing and painted the larger areas first. Students painted the boat, smaller details and reflections last. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

Drawing Art: 2-Point Perspective City-Full Unit. Fall/Autumn.

By Art Shack by JB

Need an awesome Art Unit? I have just the thing for you! This creative 2-Point Perspective City artwork was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. For this assignment, I did a demo and taught the class how to use a ruler and a yardstick. Measurements and Math were a strong focus of the lesson. Next, students spent the rest of the first lesson practicing the use of a ruler and a yardstick. I taught the students how to do 2-point perspective with step-by-step slides. Students started on their Final Copy paper and created their own version of my example. Students used colored pencils, colored sharpies, or watercolor paint to color their Mandala Design. I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.
