Listening Journals

Today, I assigned my first listening response in 3rd grade. I showed the students a music video and had them fill out a simple worksheet to go along with it. I wanted them to tell me what they were listening to and how it made them feel. Then they drew me a picture of what the music made them think about.

This activity was really fun! The kids enjoyed it.

Here is the worksheet I used:

 And here is the video they watched:

After we finished our pictures, I went around the room and had the kids tell me what they thought of the video. I wrote their thoughts on the board and then we talked extensively about how the guitar works. They were very interested in the guitar!
