Arifah shares her process in creating the How We Express Ourselves Summative Project

On the 15th of November, our class - 5DC had a Media Gallery and what everyone had to do was set up their presentation or Media summatives and just pin it up on the wall or play it as music, movies, pictures or posters. My summative was played as music. I also had a picture to go with the song.

What I did with my summative was I took another song which was “Coming Home” and changed all the lyrics except for the chorus. After I changed the lyrics, I converted a backing track of Coming Home to garageband and recorded myself singing the song I changed. I thought this was the best summative I created/completed so far. While we were all completing our summatives, I also had to sing Sofie’s song. She wrote a song for her summative and she also did the same thing as me. She changed all the lyrics to the song “we are never getting back together” to her own song and she named her song “Never judge the book by it’s cover” After she change the lyrics, she also converted the backing track of “Never getting back together” to garageband and told me to sing the song.

During the Gallery, I heard and saw wonderful, AMAZING work. There were songs/music, stories, posters, movies and Images. They all looked FANTASTIC. When I looked at all of them, a lot of them actually conveyed a strong message. Some were playful, some were serious and all of them we POWERFUL. So I would say 5DC did an EXCELLENT job in conveying messages. Thank you for reading my post! Oh and if you want to hear my summative, the link is down below (but you might need to download it). - Mr Chan has placed the song on Soundcloud.

My Crocodile

Students were given a poem named, "The Crocodile", written the big time children's literature author, Roald Dahl. Through this activity, we were exploring some of the different forms of language. Students were charged with the task to express the content of, "The Crocodile" through music, visual art, voice and body language.
