Instructional Ideas

  • Create an interdisciplinary project to address all aspects of the rubric
  • Invite parents to watch their children in the final performance assessment

Classroom Considerations

  • Worksheets include a lot of color, which may make printing and copying difficult
  • Designed to accompany the curriculum available at the publisher's website, but works on its own with independent research as well

Pros

  • Provides clear, demonstratable goals, complete with a rubric for assessment
  • Incorporates music theory, dance, and social studies into one project

Cons

  • None
