What Is It?

A chance to create something with peers!

​The Chorus Creativity Project is a project intended to get your kids’ creative juices flowing! Students get to pick a song of their choice (school appropriate, of course) and do basically whatever they want as an interpretation of that song.

​*Special Thanks to the "Chorus Room" for details on this project.

Cell phones cannot be used during class.

Here are some examples of projects:

How To Get Started

1. Look at a copy of the rubric online. This website will be available throughout the project.

2. Discuss some possible ways that we could do the project. This helps get you started. 

3. Once we are done discussing the rubric, you will:

   • Decide if you are working in a group or individually. You cannot use a cellphone.

   • Choose a song

   • Decide what to do to express your chosen song

4. By the end of the class the next day, students must have their group, chosen song, and project proposal approved by me. We fill out the rubric with all of that info, and I initial off on everything. 

5. You will have 4 days to complete your project and then present it.

Grading

This project is a grade for my students. The overall grade is made up of two parts:

1. Average of daily time on task 

   • students must be working during the entire period on each day in class. They may opt to also work on their projects at home, but the project is designed to be worked on in class.​​

   • students are responsible for bringing all necessary materials. Individuals/groups that don't bring the materials they need don't receive full credit for that day.

   • students should stay and work with their group. They shouldn't be wandering off to socialize with other groups.

2. Presentation grade

   • Is the final product thoughtful, and well-put together?​

   • does the final project demonstrate inspiration taken from the chosen song?

   • If performing: Does the performance use the entire song? (dance, singing, etc MUST be the entire song)
