I would like to create a song with a class of 4th graders that can be used to educate their classmates, families, friends and community about a specific local environmental issue. I would also like the song to include steps that they can take as individuals and as a community to create a positive change.
I will only have one day in the classroom with these students so we will need to work quickly! My idea is to use the melody of a popular song that everyone knows and change the lyrics - I will have some recording equipment with me so by the end of my time with them we should be able to make some recordings. Then I will complete the song and send it back to the class so they can share it with their community!
