Math: Data Management
We will be spending some time reviewing our most recent test and having a second test, after I return from my workshop. In the meantime, you would have done some initial brainstorming around our new unit on Mean, Median, and Mode.

We will take a look at a couple of videos here, as we usually do, to help our understanding. Also, I have posted up a link to a number of Math game sites, relating to this next topic.
We will have some textbook work today and spend some time taking it up.
Orrf/Music:
In Music class, last week, Ms. Bunston introduced us to some elements of music and we had to listen to a couple of pieces and record our observations. You will be getting back your answers today. Here is the answer sheet she provided for me:
We will review some of the concepts used in the answer sheet and then listen to the original pieces you heard last week.
Review: Staccato versus Legato and an explanation of Glissando:
Carnival of the Animals selections:
The second:
Ms. Bunston suggested that we look at some contemporary music to see if we could identify some of the elements mentioned on the chart. Here is a sample review of Meter and time signature using a couple of "pop" artists and a piano teacher who offers up a tutorial.
For the following video, only watch up to 2:03 after the woman finishes playing the piano and talking about time signatures.
Ms. Davis-Spinks suggested a song that could be used as an example of a Media text to discuss issues of body image, self-harm, and maintaining a healthy self-esteem. I thought the song could also serve our purpose for learning about the elements of music. For now, we will take a listen to the song and see if we can track the items listed on the chart: Meter, Tempo, Instrumentation, Articulation
On another occasion, we will look at the official video and deconstruct some of the messages and how they relate to the song's lyrics.
