Summary Post for Project # 6

My Summary post for Project #6 was put out to check everyone's musical intelligence. Some of the questions were easy, some were a little difficult. They ranged in the music of the Oldies to some of the recent throwbacks. I made the answer choices a little easy to do, but it was all made in fun. I ranged the music in different genres because some might know different categories than others, but everyone probably got most correct by the answer choices.

One of the musicians of the choice below was Michael Jackson. Almost everyone in our generation know of Michael Jackson. But do they REALLY know about Michael Jackson was the question. If they didn't know about him before, they would after they finished my questionnaire. Many of the answer choices were simply wrong, but that's were the fun came. Check them out, see if you could guess any just by looking. I hope everyone enjoys it!


1) What is the minimum number of musicians a band must have to be considered a "big band"?

4) What stringed symphonic instrument has a pedestal and a crown?
5) What jazz trumpeter was dubbed the "Prince of Darkness"?

9)What Michael Jackson album spawned five chart-topping singles?
10)What Shania Twain recording became the best-selling country music album ever by a female artist, in 1996?

PLN Report

I didn't really know how to start on my PLN on this site. What really helped me get motivated was the seventh graders explanation of theirs in the instructions. It began making sense to me after that, and I used that video as a guide for me to create mine. Symbaloo was very helpful, which is great because it makes this so much more functional and easy to use. Before, I didn't have any of the spots set up. As for now, I have Google, EDM 310 home page, and my class blog set up. But hopefully soon enough I will have my PLN filled with all kinds of resources! It was a great site, and very helpful.

C4T Summary

My summary was on Dan pinks Anatomy, Purpose, Mastery. He basically talked about implanting new things in the education setting. Many of the things he mentioned in this passage word be very important in the classroom especially for new teachers as myself. The book "Drive" applies to education also and the work he asks student to do. I would recommend everyone to read this book if you're a becoming teacher.

C4K Summary

My fist kid for this summary, he too us through a lesson of a field trip he was on. They measured things in Kilo-meters and not in miles. People in Puglis loves pasta and their favorite is Orecchiete. Orecchiete gets its name because it looks like an ear. Melville was my next kid and she implemented the traditional major instruments. I found it interesting that people were able to create music from these objects. I would've never tried these ideas. Drawer Brooklyn drew a girl on a sunny day. It was actually nice to see kids at such a young age drawing pictures with meaning. Chase was another kid that actually skyped with a person from Philadelphia. They explained their differences and enjoyed each other.
