Expressing Emotion through the Arts A Unit for Grade 5

Unit Overview

Task ContextUsing an integrated arts approach, students expand their knowledge of how the arts express and evokeemotions.

Student experiences in this unit are based upon the following overall curriculum expectations for the Arts,which demand that students:- demonstrate an understanding of the basic elements of music specified for this grade through listening to,performing, and creating music;- produce two- and three-dimensional works of art that communicate a range of ideas (thoughts, feelings,experiences) for specific purposes and to specific audiences;- interpret and communicate the meaning of stories, films, plays, songs, and other material drawn fromdifferent sources and cultures, using a range of drama and dance techniques (e.g., using a “corridor ofvoices”).

Links to the Language Arts curriculum are addressed in this unit in that students:- produce media texts using writing and materials from other media (e.g., an advertisement for radio ortelevision);- contribute and work constructively in groups.

Students learn how the basic elements of music are combined to create different moods. Studentscommunicate their thoughts and feelings about the music they hear using visual arts and drama processesand techniques. In a small-group presentation format, students develop an ability to express, both individuallyand in a group, emotions evoked in the arts.

Task SummaryStudents identify the elements that create the mood in a variety of musical pieces. In order to accomplish this,students develop a list of appropriate terminology to describe the musical elements (i.e., tempo, dynamics,melody, and tone colour). In large groups, small groups, and individually, students apply this knowledge bylistening to a variety of musical examples and identifying the elements.

Using their knowledge of the elements of music and the moods evoked by music, students working in smallgroups brainstorm to create a list of descriptive words for a particular mood. The teacher prompts studentsto extend their ideas to include situations, dialogue, characters, sounds, etc. that further describe this mood.Working individually, students use a variety of materials to create a portrait, using a collage technique. Theportraits communicate and consolidate the small-group investigations about mood.

Initially, students participate in choral speaking/chanting activities guided by the teacher. The teacher modelshow to "chunk" language to create a chant. Students each compose their own chants using material that ispreviously known to them (e.g., Row Row Row Your Boat). Once students have composed chants on theirown, they are taught a chant. Then in groups students participate in an activity in which groups present thischant in a manner that illustrates a specific element of music. Using the vocabulary that they developed fortheir collage portrait, students apply their understanding of the elements of music by creating a groupdramatic piece (chant) that incorporates visual images (their portraits), sounds, and words.

Culminating Task AssessmentFor the Culminating Task, students create an integrated arts presentation, consisting of portraits and choralchanting, that demonstrates their knowledge of the elements of the arts to evoke a mood. The teacherintroduces the Culminating Task by reading aloud BLM 9.1.

"A note to performers:

Expressing Emotion through the Arts A Unit for Grade 5

Unit Overview

Please make sure your chants demonstrate your knowledge of the elements of music and include vividvocabulary and interesting images to help make our program a success."

Links to Prior KnowledgeStudents should have some background in:- identifying the elements of music including the tone colours of orchestral instruments;- the emotional quality of line and colour;- an awareness of the concept of portrait;- choral speaking voice techniques (e.g., projection and enunciation).

Considerations

TECHNOLOGY- The teacher may consider videotaping the Culminating Task. (Check with your school board regardingparental permission protocol before videotaping students.)- Students could work with word processing or desktop publishing software to use different fonts toexpress mood (and possibly print those words to use for their collages).

Notes to TeacherThis Elementary Curriculum Unit has been written by a team of teachers for use by other teachers. Itrepresents the approach they took to help students achieve the knowledge and skills described in thecurriculum expectations. It is expected that teachers delivering the unit will use their professional judgementin tailoring the teaching/learning to meet the needs and interests of their students and their communities.Teachers may choose to use all or part of the unit, use additional or different resources, develop additionalsubtasks, and/or use these units as a stimulus to develop their own units.

The times provided by the writers for the unit and each subtask are only approximations. Teachers shouldadjust the task times in consideration of the needs and interests of their students and the organization ofprogram in their school.

Each unit subtask contains strategies for teaching/learning and assessment, as well as assessmentrecording devices. Teachers may wish to adjust strategies based on their particular situations. Wherestrategies are changed, corresponding changes must be made to assessment recording devices.

Some activities in the unit may require written communication with parents and guardians to provideinformation, receive permission or request assistance. Teachers must follow school and board policies andprocedures when communicating with parents and guardians.

The teacher may need to provide background experiences before introducing the culminating task, as somechildren may not have access/exposure to television.

In the classroom, the teacher should start a collection of portraits (e.g., famous artists, calendar examples,magazines). The teacher should include diverse portraits (i.e., age, ethnicity, gender) and a variety of styles,if possible. Also, begin a collection of vocabulary words from books, displayed portraits, and conversationsthat can be classified by mood on a word wall.

The URLs for the websites were verified by the writers before the publication of the units. Given thefrequency with which these designations change, the teacher should always verify the websites beforeassigning them for student use.

The teacher should be prepared with an alternate activity for those students with emotional sensitivities who

may exhibit an extreme response to the music.

Music Suggestions:The following are suggestions for pieces of instrumental music that evoke the five moods outlined in the unit.These are suggestions only. The teacher is free to select any music he/she feels is appropriate. He/she maywish to include students in the selection process and collect examples from a variety of cultures and timeperiods. Many tapes and CDs are available at local libraries. If the teacher is not sure of the tone coloursused in each piece, he/she should check the liner notes.

Subtask List Page 1List of Subtasks

Responding to Music through Line and ColourThe teacher plays two pieces of music with different moods (suggested time of music, 30 seconds).Students listen to the piece once to get a sense of the mood. Then, using line and a colour (from eightbasic colours in a box of markers or crayons) students respond to the music as it is being played forthe second time. The responses should be abstract and not representational. On their papers,students explain their colour choice and identify the lines they used (e.g., jagged, curved, smooth,thick, dotted).

1

Elements of Music: Brainstorm and PracticeStudents participate in a whole-class brainstorming session to develop a list of appropriate adjectivesto describe the elements of music (i.e., tempo, dynamics, mood, melody, tone colour). Using onemusical example, students help to complete a class chart to describe the elements of music in acomposition.

Students work in small groups and use the brainstormed adjective list to create group charts thataccurately describe the elements of music in two new compositions with distinct moods. Students thenwrite sentences in their small groups to describe how the mood was created by the elements ofmusic.

2

Elements of Music: Individual EvaluationStudents work individually and use the brainstormed adjective list to create charts that accuratelydescribe the elements of music in two new compositions with distinct moods. Students writesentences to describe how the mood was created by the elements of music.

3

Vocabulary ExtensionsThe teacher divides students into random groupings using a musical chairs game. Once in groups, theteacher assigns students a mood inspired by the five musical selections already heard in class.Groups then generate ideas with the help of the following prompt:

"Now that you have identified the moods (happy, sad, angry, proud and scared) and you havedescribed how they were created by the elements of music for the mood on your chart paper, please:-list as many words as you can to describe this mood (non-musical terms);-identify situations that may bring about this mood;-list any sound effects or images that are suggested by this mood;-include the types of line and colour selections that match your group's assigned mood."

4

Collage PortraitsStudents view a variety of portraits and discuss their artistic characteristics (e.g., profile, front facing,shoulders up, etc.). Applying their knowledge of colour and line, students use a variety of materialsand techniques to create a portrait that reflects the vocabulary and ideas from their group'sbrainstorming sheet.

5

Chunking Language, Chanting Voices Initially, students participate in choral speaking/chanting activities through guided demonstrations withthe teacher. Using a fairy tale, primary picture book, novel, ballad, play, or other source material thatstudents are already familiar with, the teacher engages students in "chunking" language to createchants. Once this activity has been modelled, the teacher asks students to "chunk" languageindividually and then in small groups by composing their own chants using available source material.

6

Chanting the Elements of Music Students learn a chant. Then, in drama groups, they play a game in which groups present the chant ina manner that illustrates a specific element of music (i.e., tempo, dynamics, melody, tone colour, andmood). The rest of the class then guesses what element of music the group has demonstrated.

understand how the music is put together. When a composer writes a piece of music, he or she makesdecisions about different parts of the music that help the music tell a story or evoke a feeling. Today studentsare going to learn how to describe these musical parts.

c. explains to students that they probably know a lot about the different parts or elements of music, but theymay not know the right words to describe them. Today they are going to make a list of words they can use.

d. directs the students' attention to the word "tempo." Elicit responses from students as to theirunderstanding of the word. From the responses, direct students to the correct meaning of tempo: the speedof the music. Ask students to suggest words that describe speed. Write these words with the correspondingcolour under the heading "Tempo." Explain that in music these words are often translated into Italian. Providethe Italian equivalents for their words. Refer to subtask notes for examples.

e. directs students to the word "dynamics." Elicit responses from students as to their understanding of theword. From the responses, direct students to the correct meaning of dynamics: the volume of the music. Askstudents to suggest words that describe volume. Write these words with the corresponding colour under theheading "Dynamics." Explain that in music these words are often translated into Italian. Provide the Italianequivalents for their words. Refer to subtask notes for examples.

f. directs students to the word "mood." Elicit responses from students as to their understanding of the word.From the responses, direct students to the correct meaning of mood: emotions we feel. Ask students tosuggest different moods. Write these words with the corresponding colour under the heading "Mood." Referto subtask notes for examples.

g. directs students to the word "melody." Elicit responses from students as to their understanding of theword. From the responses, direct students to the correct meaning of melody: the connection of notes thatmakes up the tune of a song or an instrumental line. Ask students to suggest words that describe melody.Write these words with the corresponding colour under the heading "Melody." Refer to subtask notes forexamples.

h. directs students to the term "tone colour." Elicit responses from students as to their understanding of theword. Explain that artists use colours to create their paintings and pictures, and that composers use tonecolours to create their music. Artists choose different colours, and composers choose different sounds. Thesounds might come from instruments, voices, or even found instruments that they create. Ask students tosuggest words that describe tone colour. Write these words with the corresponding colour under theheading "Tone Colour." Refer to subtask notes for examples.

i. explains that the Elements of Music chart can be used to analyse music. The teacher posts the chart in theroom so that students may refer to it for the duration of the unit. Students listen to the piece of music fromSubtask 1 again (or music with distinct moods). Then using Blackline Master 2.1, Elements of Music, as anoverhead, the teacher guides students to complete the chart by describing the music they hear. The teacherplays a short excerpt from the piece of music (suggested time: 30 seconds). Students listen to the selectionagain, and are asked for suggestions to complete the BLM. The teacher writes their correct responses onBLM 2.1 overhead. Congratulate students on their ability to correctly identify the elements of music anddescribe the compositions.

j. puts students into small groups (fours) and gives each group two copies of BLM 2.1 and writingequipment. Explain that they will be working in small groups today to fill in the charts for two new anddifferent songs. Emphasize to students the need to work together to complete the chart and to ensure thateveryone agrees with the words chosen. Remind students that they need speak quietly so that other groupsdo not hear their ideas.

k. plays two new selections with different moods. If, for example, the teacher previously used happy andsad music, he/she can use proud and scared music today. The teachers plays each selection forapproximately 30 seconds and replays it a few times until students have completed one BLM 2.1. Make surethey label the BLM 2.1 "Song 1." Repeat the procedure for Song 2.

l. When the groups have completed their two charts, the teacher asks them to use the words they chose tocomplete the following sentence starter. The teacher explains that this sentence starter will help themunderstand how the composer creates a specific mood in the music, using the other elements of music(tempo, dynamics, melody, and tone colour). Allow groups to complete the sentence starters on their sheets.Have each group share their sentences and offer any compliments or suggestions that are appropriate.

Sentence starter:The mood of this music is _______________ because the tempo is ____________ , the dynamics are_____________________, and the melody is ____________________. The composer chose theseinstruments to help the music sound (insert mood): ________________, _________________ and__________.

AdaptationsIn addition to consulting the student's IEP, adaptations may include but are not limited to the followingsuggestions.

The teacher may consider using flash cards with clipart for ESL or non-reading students (e.g., faces depictingmoods, or a cheetah for quickness). Abbreviations for certain elements of music (e.g., forte can be written f) arecommonly used. These abbreviations assist students who experience difficulties copying from the chart paper totheir own paper.

For students who have difficulty working cooperatively, the teacher may consider:• setting limits and boundaries consistently, predictably, promptly, and plainly;• acknowledging and praising/rewarding acceptable behaviour;• monitoring progress often;• providing frequent feedback to help keep them on track and let them know what is expected of them whilebuilding self-esteem.

Notes to Teacher1. Students should be familiar with some of the elements of music from prior grades. They should befamiliar with the tone colours of orchestral instruments. If not, consider using some of the websites andbooks listed in the resources.

2. Definitions and possible adjectives for the elements of music follow:

Tempo: the speed of music- slow (largo), medium/walking speed (andante), fast/running speed (presto), speeds up, slows down

Dynamics: the volume of music- pp (pianissimo, very quiet), p (piano, quiet), mp (mezzo piano, moderately quiet), mf (mezzo forte,moderately loud), f (forte, loud), ff (fortissimo, very loud), < (crescendo, gradually getting louder), >(decrescendo, gradually getting softer)

Mood: the emotion of music- sad, happy, scared, angry, proud

Melody: the connection of a series of notes called the song or the instrumental line- high, middle, low- minor key (sounds sad, angry, scared)- major key (sounds happy, proud)

Tone Colour: the unique quality of sounds that allows us to distinguish between them. Also called Timbre.- any instrument (orchestral, world, found, band, electronic)- voice

3. The teacher may refer to Notes to Teacher in the Unit Overview for music suggestions.

4. The teacher should select five compositions that represent the following five moods: happy, sad, angry,afraid, proud. Use two of the music selections for the whole group activity and two selections for thesmall-group activity (one repeated selection and one new selection). Use two new selections for Subtask3.

5. When writing their sentences in response to how composers create mood in a piece of music, groupsmay prefer to write their own rather than relying on the sentence starter. If they choose to do so, theteacher should ensure that they include all the elements of music.

6. The teacher may wish to evaluate the descriptive sentences in Subtasks 2 and 3 for writing as well asmusic.

Expectations5a14 A – recognize different kinds of tone colour in pieces

of music (e.g., the sound of steel drums);5a23 A – describe how various elements of music are

combined to create different moods (e.g., comparetempo and melody in “Hard Day’s Night” and“Yesterday” by the Beatles);

DescriptionStudents work individually and use the brainstormed adjective list to create charts that accurately describe theelements of music in two new compositions with distinct moods. Students write sentences to describe how themood was created by the elements of music.

Teaching / Learning StrategiesVisual/graphic Organizers

AssessmentThe teacher completes formativeassessment at this time. Remind students ofthe following criteria:- a good chart contains words from all theelement of music sections (tempo, dynamics,mood, melody, tone colour);- a good chart contains more than one wordfrom each element if the music changes inorder to clearly and completely describe themusic (e.g., the music might be quiet andthen become loud);- there can be many tone colours in themusic, so students should concentrate onthe main instruments that play the theme ormelody (three to five instruments is usuallyenough).

Teaching / LearningThe teacher:a. explains to students that today they will identify the elements of music and write sentences to describethe mood of the music on their own. Assure students that they can refer to the list that the class completed,that they can use BLM 3.1, Elements of Music Assessment, to organize their thoughts, and that they can usethe sentence starter to help them describe the music. Hand out BLM 3.1 to each student and make surehe/she has writing supplies.

b. plays the first music selection. (Choose music with different moods from the previous small group activity(e.g., if you used angry, proud, and scared music previously, select happy and sad music today). Replay theselection several times to allow students to complete the elements of music chart. Then, without playing themusic, direct students to complete the sentence starter (or a sentence of their own) on their sheets todescribe the mood of the music.

Notes to TeacherIf the classroom is not large enough to accommodate the musical chairs game, the teacher may consider usingan alternate space (e.g., gym, stage, hallway, or outside). Make sure that there is an electrical outlet for yourmusic source.It is suggested that chairs should have cards or stickers placed on them and be set up in the space beforestudents arrive. The teacher should ensure that the location selected for chairs and the placement of electricalcords promotes a safe learning environment for students. Although some students may be inspired to move withthe music as they play the game, the teacher must prohibit running and other unsafe movements.

Teaching / LearningThe teacher:a. displays a range of portraits and directs students to observe the characteristics of a portrait (i.e., peoplewith faces showing either profile or frontal, figure is in the foreground, only shown from the shoulders up).Using a teacher-directed discussion format, students look at the various portraits that have been collectedand displayed in the room.

b. instructs students to focus on the colours used in the background of the portrait or worn by the subject inthe portrait. Students identify warm and cool colours. The teacher asks students to reflect on the importanceof the colours used by the artists or photographers and how the colours relate to the overall mood of theportrait.

c. directs students to look at the lines in the portrait, both in the background as well as the facial lines of thesubject in the portrait. Students identify the different types of lines (e.g., thick, curvy) present in the portrait.The teacher asks students to reflect on the importance of the lines found in the portraits and their relationshipto the overall mood of the portrait.

d. identifies a portrait with non-traditional choices for some of the elements of design (e.g., colour or line).Students discuss possible reasons why non-traditional artistic choices were made. The teacher remindsstudents that different cultural or familial experiences can influence an artist's work (e.g., the colour red maybe used to denote danger in Canada, but represents good luck and prosperity in China). This discussionshould also generate ideas on facial expression, significant items in the background, colours and lines, andhow these affect the mood of the portrait.

Students may choose to work on any size (up to 11" x 17") or colour of background paper. They should find,select, and then cut out a face from print materials that reflects the mood they are representing. Otheroptions could be for students to draw, or use an enlarged portrait for the main image. They will then usemixed-media resources and collage techniques to add to their portraits (refer to Teacher Note #3). Portraitsshould contain relevant symbols, lines, colours, words, and backgrounds to convey the mood. Studentsshould also include words or phrases that are cut out of magazines and newspapers, hand written, orprinted in various fonts and sizes from the computer to enhance their work.

Notes to Teacher1. The teacher should start a collection of mixed-media materials on his/her own or with help of thestudents and their families: (e.g., newspapers, culturally diverse magazines, fabric, other print materials,paint, oil pastels, markers, tinfoil, wire, etc.)

2. Inappropriate images of a sexual or violent nature should not be permitted.

3. Collage (visual format) is the creation of a new image formed by attaching materials such as paper,fabrics, photos, and other objects to a flat surface. A collage is composed of bits and pieces of originallyunrelated images, including used commercial materials, to illustrate a theme or story, or to create a newaesthetic work. A collage can have a strong impact by making a social statement, often using found objectsor commercial images. The concept of collage can also be transferred to other art forms (e.g.,photomontage, musical collage, dance collage, and multimedia collage). These include similar approaches todesign and composition to create a new work in the particular medium chosen.

4. This unit deals mainly with the elements of line and colour; however, the teacher may choose to includeother elements of design. If so, include these elements in the introductory discussion with students usingportrait examples.

5. Left-handed scissors should be available.

6. The teacher should have print materials that depict both male and female images and reflect the culturalmake up of the community.

The elements of design for visual arts are defined as follows:Colour: a particular hue that is seen when light is reflected off an objectCool Colours: colours that suggest coolness (e.g., blue, green, purple)Warm Colours: colours that suggest warmth (e.g., red, yellow, orange)Colour Wheel: a tool for organizing colours and representing relationships between coloursLine: defined as the visual path left by a moving pointTexture: the feel or appearance of an object or materialShape : a term applied to two-dimensional objects having length and widthSpace: the area around, within, or between images and elementsForm: a sculpture or three-dimensional shape

DescriptionInitially, students participate in choral speaking/chanting activities through guided demonstrations with theteacher. Using a fairy tale, primary picture book, novel, ballad, play, or other source material that students arealready familiar with, the teacher engages students in "chunking" language to create chants. Once this activityhas been modelled, the teacher asks students to "chunk" language individually and then in small groups bycomposing their own chants using available source material.

Teaching / LearningThe teacher may refer to Notes to Teacher #1 for a suggestion of how to introduce the concept of chants initiallyto students.

The teacher selects a short text that students will use as source material for the "chunking" activity. Read theselection to the class. Then, using an overhead transparency, chart paper, or the blackboard, compose asummary of the text. The teacher reads the summary aloud to the class, asking students to identify key words andphrases. Once the key words and phrases are identified, they are arranged to form a chant (refer to Notes toTeacher #2 for a detailed example of this activity). When the chant has been written, the teacher and studentsdiscuss ways of presenting the chant dramatically, keeping in mind the elements of music that have previouslybeen discussed in Subtask 2. Students then experiment with different ways of presenting the chant.

Expressing Emotion through the Arts A Unit for Grade 5 mins160

Resources

Once students have participated in the initial chunking/chanting activity, they compose their own chant, usingavailable source material (refer to Notes to Teacher #3). With students working individually, they select a text thatthey have previously explored (e.g., novel study, independent reading, social studies textbook, primary picturebook, etc.) Students compose a chant that successfully communicates the plot of the text they have selected.Students rehearse their chants and then present their chants to a classmate. In pairs, students provide feedbackfor each other by completing an Individual and Peer Chanting Reflection Sheet (BLM 6.1; refer to Notes toTeacher #4).

Working in small groups or pairs, students compose another a chant. Groups choose the text that they will useand identify the specific aspect of the text that they will be expressing. They compose a chant, considering theme,mood, main idea, etc. The teacher encourages students to move beyond summarizing the plot by focusing on lessobvious aspects of the text (e.g., theme, mood, main idea). Students compose their chant, using keywords/phrases from the text as well as vocabulary from their own ideas and experiences with the text. The teacherencourages the groups to apply the elements of music when considering the presentation of their chant. Groupsrehearse presentations and then present their chants to the entire class. Once all groups have presented, theteacher should conduct a discussion/lesson leading to the creation of a rubric for the chanting presentation. Thisrubric will eventually be used for assessing the final two subtasks. Refer to the Chanting Performance Rubrics inSubtask 8 and 9 for guidelines on criteria and level indicators.

AdaptationsIn addition to consulting the student's IEP, adaptations may include but are not limited to the followingsuggestions.

For students who experience language difficulties, the teacher may consider pairing for planning and performance.

For students who have difficulty working cooperatively the teacher may wish to consider:• setting limits and boundaries consistently, predictably, promptly, and plainly;• acknowledging and praising/rewarding acceptable behaviour;• monitoring progress often;• providing frequent feedback to help keep them on track and let them know what is expected of them whilebuilding self-esteem.

The Arts as Mood Makers Subtask 6Chunking Language, Chanting Voices

Expressing Emotion through the Arts A Unit for Grade 5 mins160

Notes to Teacher1. Chants are rhythmic little verses. The teacher may want to introduce the idea of a chant initially bylooking at nursery rhymes and play chants (i.e., those little songs children sing when they are skipping,clapping, etc.) Ask students what chants they know already and spend some time as a whole classexploring ways of saying these chants or ways of rewriting them. For example, some students may befamiliar with this hand chant:

A sailor went to sea sea seaTo see what he could see see seeAnd all that he could see see seeWas the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea

The teacher should start with this original verse and then play around with additional verses that could beadded. For example:

The pilot flew the plane plane planeTo see the sights of Spain Spain SpainBut once inside the plane plane planeHe forgot the route to Spain Spain Spain

Another possibility for introducing chants to students would be by connecting the poetic and rhythmicnature of rap music to the idea of chanting. Many students are familiar with rap music, and this would bean opportunity for students to provide many examples that they are familiar with.

2. The teacher should choose a version of a well-known fairy tale or a short primary book that can beeasily read to the class. Read the story to the class. Write a summary of the story with students and then,with input from students, underline key words and phrases. Then, using the underlined words andphrases, create a free-form poem/chant. Use repetition and additional vocabulary. Using the fairy taleCinderella as an example, first summarize:

"There once was a young maiden named Cinderella who lived with her wicked stepmother and her twowicked stepsisters. Cinderella worked from morning until night doing chores ..."

Once the summary is completed, the teacher should underline the key words and phrases:

There once was a young maiden named Cinderella who lived with her wicked stepmother and her twowicked step sisters. Cinderella worked from morning until night doing chores ....

Now the teacher arranges the underlined words and phrases into a poem/chant:

Cinderella CinderellaPoor young maidenWicked Stepmother, wicked stepsistersCinderella CinderellaPoor young maidenWorking, working hard,doing her chores.Cinderella Cinderella

3. If possible, the teacher takes students to the library, where they can each select a primary book to read,or provide the books in class for students. Once students have selected their books, they are to read the

story to themselves more than once so that they clearly know the plot. Then the teacher instructs studentsto compose a summarized version of the story in rhythmic form. Students may choose to utilize thepreviously used method of first summarizing the text in prose, underlining key words and phrases, and thenarranging those words and phrases in poetic form. Some students may choose to bypass the summarizingstep and go immediately to arranging key words and phrases. The teacher should remind students that theirtask is two-fold: within their chant they must communicate the plot of the text using the elements of music(tempo, dynamics, mood, melody, and tone colour).

4. The students' reflective comments on BLM 6.1 should be helpful to the teacher in his/her formativeassessments.

5. The teacher may wish to assign a group writer for this task using a random technique (e.g., the studentwearing the most red).

Teaching / LearningThe class reviews the activities and skills that they have explored to this point. With the whole class, the teacherintroduces another simple chant to students. This chant can be an original one that the teacher has composed, aplay chant, or a nursery rhyme. The teacher displays the chant so that all students can see it and read it. Inunison, students practise saying the chant.

Once students are familiar with the language of the chant, they recite the chant repeatedly, focusing on oneelement of music at a time. For example, when students recite the chant for the first time, they can experiment withthe tempo, speeding it up or slowing it down. The second time students recite the chant, they can experiment withthe dynamics, gradually making it louder (crescendo) or softer (decrescendo). The third time, they can experimentwith mood, reciting the chant in angry, sad, or happy voices (i.e., putting emotion into the piece).

Refer to Notes to TeacherThe teacher puts students into small groups (three to five). Give each group a task card that has a chant writtenon it and a specific element of music noted. Each group rehearses and presents the chant that they have beengiven to illustrate the element of music noted. Each group then presents its chant to the rest of the class.Students watching the presentation identify what element of music was demonstrated through the grouppresentations.

Teaching / LearningUsing the portraits that students created in Subtask 5, students each compose original chants that communicatethe mood of their portraits. To accomplish this task, students write a brief prose piece explaining a situation orsituations that would elicit the mood of their portrait (refer to Notes to Teacher #1). Once this piece has beenwritten, students identify the key words and phrases that they will use to compose their chant. The teacherreminds students that they may also use the sound effects, additional vocabulary, and situations that theygenerated in their groupings from Subtask 4.

Once students have composed their chants, the teacher reminds them that they must now present their chant insuch a manner that best expresses the particular mood. In deciding how best to present their chant, studentsshould practise saying their chants using the elements of music. Once they have experimented with a variety ofapproaches, they complete a script that includes the chant and the specific notations/directions on how to presentit (refer to Notes to Teacher #2). This is to be submitted for evaluation along with their individual presentations.

Students present their chants to the class.

Students complete the chanting performance rubric to assess their performance.

Using the same copy of the rubric, the teacher evaluates the students' performances.

Notes to Teacher1. The following is an example of this activity using the mood "proud." Situations when someone might feelproud: becoming a citizen of a country, accomplishing an individual achievement (e.g., receiving an award), agroup achievement (e.g., winning a hockey trophy), how a parent might feel for a child, the Olympics, etc.

2. In completing the scripts of their chants, students create presentation notes focusing on the elements ofmusic. For example, they would indicate the tempo, whether any words or phrases would have a different tempo,and what the intended effect of that would be. Students would indicate on their script how the element ofdynamics would be used and what the intended effect of that would be. As a final reflective piece to their script,students would indicate how all the elements of their chants (content and presentation) work together to expressthe emotion of the chants.

DescriptionFor the Culminating Task, students create an integrated arts presentation, consisting of portraits and choralchanting, that demonstrates their knowledge of the elements of the arts to evoke a mood. The teacherintroduces the Culminating Task by reading aloud BLM 9.1.

"A note to performers:Please make sure your chants demonstrate your knowledge of the elements of music and include vividvocabulary and interesting images to help make our program a success."

Teaching / LearningThe producers of the show also want you to ensure that the chants demonstrate knowledge of the elements ofmusic and include vivid vocabulary and interesting images to help make the program a success. They are askingthat each group performs for a maximum time of (10 min).

Students return to the groupings that were created in Subtask 4. These groups reflect the five moods that werepreviously explored (i.e., sad, happy, scared, angry, and proud). Within groups, students each share their portraitsand the individual chants they created based on their portrait (Subtask 8). Students build on the chants/ideas fromall the group members to compose one chant for the group. The chant is based on one of the five moods and

uses all of the portraits which illustrate that mood. The teacher should remind students of their objective: torepresent the mood and use visual images (portraits, etc.), vivid vocabulary, sound effects, and possiblybackground music. The teacher should also remind students of the length of their chant. Once students havecomposed their chants, the teacher may choose to conference with groups on the content. The teacher shouldgive students time to work on all aspects of their final presentation (e.g., rehearse choral chanting with a focus onthe elements of music, decide how they will use their portraits, discuss and plan for any instrumental music thatwould be suitable in communicating the mood.)

Students have a "dress rehearsal," where informal teacher and peer feedback is given to the groups. If needed,after the dress rehearsal, the teacher provides groups with additional time to rehearse.

Groups present their chants to an audience (the class or perhaps a larger audience). The final performance isassessed.

AdaptationsIn addition to consulting the student's IEP, adaptations may include but are not limited to the followingsuggestions.

For students who have difficulty working cooperatively, the teacher may wish to consider:• setting limits and boundaries consistently, predictably, promptly, and plainly;• acknowledging and praising/rewarding acceptable behaviour;• monitoring progress often;• providing frequent feedback to help keep students on track and let them know what is expected of them whilebuilding self-esteem.

Notes to Teacher1. Videotaping the final presentations allows students to view these presentations in the context of a televisionformat as outlined in the subtask description. Videotaping would also allow students a better opportunity forself-assessment. Please check with your school board regarding parental permission protocol before videotapingstudents.

The teacher may choose to say the following to students: "The producers have also noted that you may want to,but do not have to, include movement, costuming, and background music to enhance the presentations."

2. Students should be evaluated individually using the rubric provided.
