Fifth Grade, immersed in Jazz, creating the liner notes for our mini 'album' book reports.**
Larry* says: I recommend Louis Armstrong, who played trumpet, because his music makes me laugh.
James* says: I recommend Louis Armstrong, because his voice is weird, but in a good way.
Jehlan* says: I recommend Ella, Jazz Vocalist, because she makes me happy.
Janita* says: I recommend Billie Holiday, Jazz Vocalist, because her voice is so wonderful!
Mirita* says: I recommend Louis Armstrong, because his music makes me feel real jumpy and it makes me laugh my head off.
Maria* says: I recommend Ella, Jazz Vocalist, because her music makes me dance.
I say, I recommend my students, because they're a joy to be around.
*As written, the names of these young musicians are not, of course, their real names.
**These mini-albums are totally great, easy to do with kids, and an imaginative way to incorporate learning facts and listening to music, with hands-on crafts. I got the entire idea from a great blog called Dudecraft. Here's the link to the instructions for making the albums, along with templates that are available (for free) to download:
