My husband is my hero.
After a Thanksgiving weekend spent in Germany celebrating the half century birthday of a dear friend, I woke up this morning wondering what I was going to do with my period 9 Chorale girls. They are so ready for our concert…beautifully ready…and I did not want to continue to sing their program over and over again for the next 12 days.
What to do…what to do…
I needed an idea for an in-class week long project. I know! We’ll create skits in each section…but what shall the topic be? Something relevant would be the holidays or Christmas but I knew it wouldn’t necessarily be representative of the diversity in the class.
I walked into the kitchen to prepare my lunch and shared what I had so far with my husband, Rick. In a New York minute he said, “Frozen”…the title should be “Frozen:_____________________”!
O.M.G!
All I needed was the idea and I ran with it.
I have attached the instructions I distributed to the class and THEY LOVED IT! I have a split section of SI’s, SII’s and a split in the alto section so there are 5 groups. So far their titles are
FROZEN: The journey Home
FROZEN: Princesses with Icy Hearts
FROZEN: Thawed
FROZEN: Let’s Break the Ice
FROZEN: I’m still…still…STILL…waiting!
And of course, the moral of each story…LET IT GO!
This will be such a fun week in class…watching them create for their presentations on Friday. They are also charged with creating three rubric statements for grading.
Feel free to use it if you’d like!
Let the creativity begin!
Have a great week!
