During their first unit of inquiry, Grade 5s explored the lives of some musical migrants: people who had migrated because of music. As many other migrants, these musicians faced risks and challenges and looked for opportunities.
During this unit we visited Qatar Music Academy’s Arab Music Department, where we had the chance to meet some musical migrants that shared their life experiences with us.
We would like to thank Mr Yassine, Mr Tafik, Ms Rachel, Ms Anne-Marie and Ms Adele for their time and kindness and for letting us share their stories. It was a wonderful learning opportunity and we hope that everybody enjoys our podcasts:
Grade 5 students: Please, choose a podcast by a group that interviewed someone different than the person your group did and write a comment giving them two stars and a wish (2 things that you liked and one thing that could be better next time). This comment will be considered part of your music summative assessment and be reflected on your reports.
I liked how Luana’s group added music and added a lot of information
Nour, you were supposed to give 2 stars and a wish!! Not just a quick comment.
I listened to the interview of Khaled and Nacho.
Star:I liked that they added a music that the migrant liked because you now know what kind music she like and how it sounded.
