December’s First Snowflake (Music Video)

Task Description: This term in Inquiry (Team 5), had the exciting task of creating an original piece of music. My group Tiare and Emzjull decided on a festive christmas theme for our song!Creating a song from scratch takes planning and teamwork. Here is a breakdown of the 5-step process we followed over the term to bring our carol to life: (week 1) Brainstorming, deciding on the specific theme (e.g., snow day, family, giving gifts) and the core message of our song. (week 2) Writing the chorus, (Functuation) The most important step! Writing the core lyrics and composing the main melody. (week 3) Building the harmony (Structure) The Composer selects the chord progressions that will support the melody for both the Chorus and the verses. (week 4) Completing the verses (Development) The Lyricist writes the verses, expanding on the chosen theme, and the Composer/Arranger fits them to the existing harmony. (week 5-8) Rehearsal & Recording (Execution)  Practicing all parts together, refining the performance, and preparing for the final recording or live showcase. This task was so much fun I hope that you all enjoy watching it, make sure to check out some of the bloopers I put in. Remember to leave a positive comment on my blog, thank you.

Christmas traditions around the world

Task Description: This week in room seven we have been learning all about Christmas and how Christmas traditions look like from other countries. Before we had to begin we had to first read an article that our teacher created for us. After that we had to finally begin with the task. On the first page it was a response to text which means we would have to answer the questions that we were given from my teacher. All of the answers were going to be from the text. My favourite page to do was probably pages 6,7,8, and 9 because it was so much fun to do and I also learnt so much from those countries. I really hope that you all enjoy checking out this blog post.
