5.+Friday--Performing+what+we+learned+(All)

//Learning Goals://
 * Demonstrate learning from the week's lessons in concept map
 * Synthesize learning from the week's lessons in group performances

1. Concept map: Messages in Music [10 minutes]
 * On board: "On a blank page, write 'messages in music' in the center; please share your thoughts and ideas in a concept map or brainstorm around the phrase 'messages in music'"

2. Create short performances to showcase something you learned this week [15-20 minutes]
 * 4-5 Small groups work together
 * 3 minute time limit per sketch/song performance
 * every person in each group must have a creative and performative role
 * encourage rhymes/rap; can use pre-fab beats from garageband
 * encourage brief dramatic sketches with improv elements; extemporaneous speeches; ciphers; etc.
 * encourage focus on a few key ideas, no need to include everything

3. Share performances (20-25 minutes); 3 min each with 2 minute feedback
 * hot/cool feedback for each--concentrate on meanings & messages comments (?)

4. Thank everyone and tell them how we look forward to their conscious raising hip-hop performances next week [1 min]
