Expository Writing-EDRG 3344
My MGP topic is music, and for this my expository writing I intend on creating a music sheet and notes for 4th graders. I will provide a few musical instruments so that there are options for the students to choose. On the music sheet, I will include the fingering positions for each instrument, along with a chart to show each note. I will allow the students to perform their instrument of choice, and work in groups to assist one another. At the end of 2 wks, I will allow the students to play a piece of music within their group in front of their classmates. I know from personal experience, this type of interaction really enhanced my learning. I believe this type of activity will be enjoyable, exciting, and memorable for the students.

Sounds exciting! By providing several types of instruments the students will be able to pick something they are interested in. This could be something that is reoccuring vs. stopping at the end of 2 weeks so as to give students the option to try a different instrument or learn another song on the same instrument. Great idea!
