Summer



Summer Reflection Guide Link found HERE

More than any other year in my teaching career I’m feeling the need to consider how I’m going to use my days this summer.  Mentally and emotionally I’m tired.  I need to find time to rest and enjoy the people I love and spend time focusing on being with them.  I also know that there’s a lot of unpredictability for fall and I want to be sure that I spend time considering what I want to learn and create for my classroom.  In thinking through these things personally I thought I’d share the things I’m thinking about with you so I’ve turned all of my personal reflections into this five episode series that I hope will be helpful for you as well.  Each episode will be about a specific topic and I’ve created a simple guide that includes the questions asked within the podcast episode along with areas to jot down notes and thoughts.  I hope that this episode helps you think about how you want to learn, relax, and spend your days this summer.

Today’s episode is about a simple Soundtrap project that could be done as a collaboration by several students or by an individual in whatever time frame you provide.  The benefit of this lesson is that it’s incredibly flexible.  It could be done in as little as 20 minutes or as much as 45 minutes or more.  The idea is to allow students to create a piece containing a specific amount of loops that includes an introduction and ending.  Like I said super simple.  This might be a great way to introduce students to loops and even form structure depending on how you set up your rubric.   This was a lesson I used while I was out th...
