Woody Guthrie Follow Up

Thanks to all of the students who commented appropriately on this blog. I enjoyed reading your impressions of the life of Woody Guthrie. It was clear that most of you read and understood what was required of you. I even laughed at some of the things you wrote. Many of you asked to have another assignment similar to this one. While I agree that an activity like this is enjoyable and worthwhile, I find it difficult to proceed when individuals decide to use this blog as a forum for "toilet humor" and arguably offensive material. Have the guts to put your name on your post and be accountable for what you add. If what you have to say does not add to the discussion, keep it to yourself.

COTM March - Woody Guthrie

Time to show that you have learned something about Woody Guthrie. After you have completed the Woody Guthrie scavenger hunt, post to the blog at least 2 complete sentences talking about something (or a couple of things) that you have learned about his music or his life.

Virtual Field Trip

Hey 6th grade music students, once you have completed your Virtual Field Trip to visit the San Francisco Symphony, post to the blog your favorite part of the website using at least two (2) complete sentences. Don't forget to tell your families about Yo-Yo Ma the world famous cellist. Two additional unique things to remember are: Osmo Vanska is the conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, and (I'm not making this up) Iccolo Miccolo played the piccolo in the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
