6th graders at Lemme have been researching birds they might observe in their natural habitats while spending a week outdoors at School of the Wild. They've put together notes/content using Google Slides, and have been utilized that as a guide/script for their podcasts. In music, they have remixed/created musical intros and outros, imported mp3s of their bird's call, and...

6th graders are working alone or with a partner to write a short story. They have recorded their stories and are now in the process of selecting loops or creating their own sound effects and recording those as tracks to support their story. We will share these in class next week.

Complete "Jogging Assignment" in Soundtrap.

https://www.soundtrap.com/studio/fork/TXcp_N-TTQOWlT_2sBvnCQ/

Create a composition at least 1:30 in length that you could see yourself jogging with and adjust the beats per minute accordingly.
You may work collaboratively with a partner using the "collaborate" button (right below the loop button).

Use at least 4 tracks for your project.
When you have completed, copy and paste the link in this assignment, as well as the names of the people that participated in the project if it was a collaboration.

There is an easy way to listen to your students podcasts instead of having them make you a collaborator and filling up your inbox with emails.
Have them go to File and save as an MP3. Then they can save that to their Google Drive, then upload to Google Classroom, and they are all there for you to listen to.

One thing I would recommend is to have checks next to voice edits, then be able to uncheck off. This would alleviate having to go into edit and undo the action.

First day is dedicated to logging in successfully and exploring SoundTrap. I encourage the students to individually watch the videos. I also do demonstrations of loops, fading in/out, making longer/shorter, etc. on the big screen.

I'd like to invite my 4th graders to create compositions in ABA form (with intro and coda) using loops. They may work individually or with a partner. After I see how this goes, I'll decide on project two! This grade level has a concert this week, so they'll be starting April 5.

Also helpful hint: know spaces in your building that can be used where students can record.  With older students, I found it helpful to allow them to have space, but also be in walking distance from them in less than a minutes time.

Soundtrap activity 1: Students were asked to create a music composition (using loops only) that reflected how they felt after reading Harry Potter. We had been reading the first Harry Potter book as a read aloud since October and finally finished. I wanted them to express their emotions to the book through sound.

The students are writing stories and then recording the stories and music/sound effects to emphasize emotions. The students will then use google slides, the recordings from sound trap and audio for google slides to make audio/digital books that students can listen to and watch.
