4th Grade students have been working on composing a piece of music to fit certain passages from the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. This is a book that they read last year and are familiar with the story. Each group choose 1 of 3 passages to read out loud and make their music fit the mood of the passage. Below are some videos of these amazing compositions.
Above is a group from Mrs. Buxton's class. They used their prior experience to include a piece of music they learned outside of school in addition to including instrument from the music room to fit the passage they choose.
Above is another group with a different passage from The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Can you tell that it is a different mood than the previous group?
