Implementing PBL at Gimnasio Superior School part III

Music around the World!

How great it is to have a museum where you can see, touch, experiment and live how music started! Well, in our school we could observe all of these shows. Tenth-graders were in charge of this superb museum. The students could represent how the music was invented, starting from the decade of twenties and finishing with the glorious sixties. They tried to represent and show some special genres which were really remarkable during the corresponding decade; also they tried to display the audience some typical dances and guitarists from each decade. They prepared their presentations for weeks along with their grammar and reading teacher, they practiced their pronunciation, their body language and their dances as well. At the end, these were their presentations:

To conclude, if your students are always complaining about your classes, try to use project-based tasks; thus, they will enjoy what they are doing because it is a different way for them to learn. Finally, let me tell you that I am really proud of them because they are my beloved students!
