NCTM/ SOL Connections:
English 3.1 and 3.2
Math 3.14
Science 3.1 and 3.2

Strengths:
Incorporates teamwork
A lot of planning/ evaluation tools for students
Reasoning and logic is good

Areas to Improve:
Supporting SOLs are kind of a stretch 
Needs to include rubric for students ]]> 2017-09-06 13:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/longer/ty79famae8uq/wish/185105001 Music Makers gabrielle_winters1 https://padlet.com/longer/ty79famae8uq/wish/185105591 Gabrielle, Gina, Kristin

Grade: 5th

Link:
http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/career_technical/technology/engineering_design_briefs/5/S_5_2_Music_Makers.pdf

NCTM/SOL Connections:
Science 5.2 and 5.1
Mathematics 5.11
English 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.6, 5.7

Strengths: 
provides room for creativity in that many options for creating
easy to find supplies for
provides a rigorous challenge 
requires students to be able to apply their knowledge and skills

Improvements: 
very cut and dry- students don't have an in between area for knowledge. If they understand then they can easily participate, but if they are confused at all they will not be able to participate and help
some of the tools are dangerous and too advanced
