CONNECTOR
•Looking through different examples of Extension Project, I came across something that is called a CONNECTOR. I’m always looking for something that I can use with my own students in band and music. It’s a great tool for students to use to reflect their own personal experiences with the book they are reading. At different timed points through out the book, students in their group can use the CONNECTOR to find connection with outside world.
•This is also a great tool for me to use in my band were students can use this for pieces of music and make connection with real life. Many popular pieces of music are inspired by real life experiences and this is a great way to show students how to tap those resources to write music.
