Grade Level: 5th Grade+

Suggested Time: 50 mins

\par\null\par\null

Overview:

Students will~create a 60-90 second rap about their future to
pre-recorded music designed by them. Students will have the opportunity
to use discovered materials and computer aided sounds to build beats and
background music to a song they perform.~

\par\null

Objective:

Students will enhance technical skills in performing and fine arts

Students will convey personal interests through performance art

Students will gain comfortability in project presentation~

\par\null

Materials:

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  Box of random materials that have noise potential (paper towel rolls,
  beads, bottles, rubberbands etc)
\item
  1 iPad or iPhone per group with Garage Band installed
\item
  Pen/Pencil
\item
  paper or note pad
\end{itemize}

Activity:

\begin{enumerate}
\tightlist
\item
  Divide students into groups based on availability of technology and
  desired student groups (ideally 3-5 students in one group)
\item
  Let the students know they are challenged to write and perform a
  free-style rap song about their future to a beat they create. Each rap
  must include a smart goal from every participant, but not everyone has
  to deliver the rap.~
\item
  Provide a short Demo tutorial on Garage Band (if needed). (5 minutes)
\item
  Give students a short time to plan and chose their materials (10
  minutes). Who is performing, writing, and producing? What kind of beat
  should they create? What materials are needed to create the sound?~
\item
  Students will work to write the lyrics,~ build beats, and record their
  make-shift instrument sounds on Garage Band. (20 minutes)
\item
  Students will perform songs for the class.~
\end{enumerate}

Debrief:

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  What materials did your group select and why? What makes some
  materials ``musical'' and others sound like noise?
\item
  What method of music production did you prefer to work with, Garage
  Band or the hand made instruments? Why?
\item
  In what ways is it easier to talk about your future goals through
  music vs. an essay? In what ways is it harder?
\end{itemize}
