6th grade Express the Music

We are about to start an awesome endeavor. Sponsored by the St. Louis Symphony, middle schoolers are going to take part in the "Express the Music" program. We will take some class time to listen to a specific piece of music (Mendelssohn's Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream) and the students will write a creative piece inspired by the music. It is going to be fun! Seven stories will be entered in the competition to be judged for possible prizes.

Here is the 6C padlet we will use for brainstorming.
Here is the 6H padlet we will use for brainstorming.
Here is the music for you to listen to on your own time if you would like.

Welcome!

Please check this blog throughout the year to get a first-hand look of what the 6th graders are learning and working on in 6th grade English. I hope to update with pictures/videos of activities and projects but also links and videos to supplement homework and learning.

Please notice the tabs at the top of the page. I will be using them as a gathering place for information and links the students will need throughout the year.

Don't hesitate in asking any questions.

Students, use this blog for useful information and handouts. You can find those on the tabs at the top of this page.

Albers' Grammar Police...

This sign was in an elevator at my grandmother's retirement center. How could you rewrite it to make the message easier to understand?
