When school starts, everyone talks about what they did over the summer break. You know the drill.
Instead of simply sharing information about what you did, you can create a short story about you and your friends or your family.
- Was there drama? Was there intrigue? Was there humor?
- Maybe, your dog or cat could be the protagonist, the main character.
- Did you go on a family trip or visit a friend in another town? That trip has a beginning, a middle, and an end, just like a story.
You can tell your story through music and, if you want, through movement. Each musical selection on the project page has a particular mood or dramatic energy. Listen to the songs and choose music communicating how you felt or what was happening at each point in your story. For example:
A summer trip might have four sections, and each part of your story will have a particular mood.
-
- Preparing to leave: Did you want to go?
- The journey itself: Was it fun? Was it boring? Was it long?
- Arriving: Were you happy? Were you bored? Were you angry?
- Returning home. Did you want to leave? Did you want to stay?
