This week’s reflection looks at how we as teachers can
connect music to other KLAs specifically literacy. We were given many choices
of activities that involved looking at literacy through music. We were given
many literacy books, ‘Henry and Amy’ written by Stephen Michael King was
particularly concentrated on because of it’s fun and interesting writing style.
Our group looked at ‘Rory’s Story Cubes’ (Wired, 2014) as a stimulus of
creating imaginary storytelling. There are 9 cubes with each cube having a
different picture of something on each side. Once they are all rolled and you
have the pictures you have rolled, students must sort the cubes into something
they can create through their imagination. We as a group created a story based on
the picture we got on the cubes and started to discuss ideas of what our story
could be about. We then were able to use an iPad to record our story with
background sounds from percussive instruments.
