博客作业 Blog assignment

The middle school have set up their blogs, all with personalized cool designs, and posted their first Mandarin welcome post!

Now for the first blog assignment:

music kinesthetic2

We have been practicing fast recall of Vocab through musical and kinesthetic review.   Talk about this in a blog post!

Things to include:

Describe to your reader what we actually do in a kinesthetic music review.

Do you think music and movement help the brain to remember things? Discuss your thoughts.

What kind of music is best?  Suggest a piece of music you like that would be a good to use for a kinesthetic music review of vocabulary.

List the words that are we recalling at the moment.  Type them in pinyin with tone marks. Typing in pinyin with tone marks is a new skill, see this ‘typing pinyin’ post for a reminder of how we did this in class) What do these words mean? Explain how you typed in pinyin.

The bold words above are MYP commands, think about them, they are useful terms in all of your subjects.

I look forward to seeing your assignments!  You will see other students’ assignment posts on your dashboard post feeder.  Comment, discuss and help each other with corrections.

For some inspiration, I have found a version of Coldplay’s ‘Clocks’ performed by the ‘Twelve Girls Band’ using traditional Chinese instruments.  Together with a backdrop of China, I think it’s a good instrumental piece to do our kinesthetic musical vocabulary review! Enjoy!
