2020 Foundations Talk | 40:11 | K-6, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom
Summary
Students in the grammar stage have minds like sponges. Our job, as teachers, is to make them thirsty for learning and to help them memorize, lock down, and retain each lesson that we teach. Some of the most effective tools we can use are songs, activities, and chants. But what if you don’t consider yourself to be creative or musical? What if you actually had to (gasp!) WRITE a song or chant?! This seminar will equip you with step-by-step tools to do just that and demystify the creative side of classical education at the grammar level.
