Bringing Music to the Class Ii

Help me give my students the experience of showing their growth through multiple intelligences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dorian Herron's classroom raised $836

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will have the opportunity to show their thinking, analysis and ability to draw connections with literature using multiple intelligences by completing multimedia projects that are not just written essays. Students will explore themes and interpret literature through musical expression with the help of the visiting music teacher.

Students will produce vibrant multimedia projects that are more in line with showing and influencing thought in the 21st century.

Additionally, this work will benefit the school's growing music program that is looking to supply students with instruments to participate in the school's music program that has experienced budget cuts
