Song+Smith



Tapping into Verbal-linguistic and musical-rhythmic intelligence students create songs generated from sensory poetry.

Students were asked to identify what poverty or homelessness may look like, feel like, smell like, sound like and taste like. Using these ideas students were to creatively produce a poem that would show their understanding of the global issue. Now that their poetry is written, students will select a genre of music, the tempo etc and will use Songsmith to create a song to demonstrate their understanding of the issues and to share their understanding with others.

Our plan is to use this wiki to share the student's creations and invite others from around the world to contribute. Students will brainstorm for innovative ideas on how their creations could not only raise awareness, but funds for those in need.
