Literacy – responding to music

Good morning, P2/3. 

I hope you had a lovely sunny weekend and you are enjoying MUSIC WEEK. 

Reading/Writing:

L.I: To write expressively about a piece of music

Today in literacy, I would like you to listen to a piece of music then think, discuss and write about how this makes you feel.  This is called listen and respond. Listen to a song by the Scottish band, Runrig. 

Ideas:

Loch Lomond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7f0HUk8OU

Going Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P91gCIzv40I

Now, consider how the piece of music makes you feel and the instruments you can hear within it. Does the piece of music remind you of anything? Do you the like the music? Pretend you are a teacher and read my examples.  Is one example better than the other?  Are they good enough to be a WAGOLL?  Did I forget a few things?

Example – Going Home:

No, it doesn’t remind me of anything

no, I don’t like the song. (I actually do like this song!)

I can hear singing and drums

the song makes me feel sad.

Example – Loch Lomond:

Yes, this song reminds me of trips to Loch Lomond with my family. (and my wedding)

Yes, I like this song because it is fast and slow.

I can hear bagpipes, singing and drums.

The song makes me feel upbeat and I want to jump about to it.

Share our answers about my examples with someone at home then write your own answers in your jotter, on paper or use this template:

Make sure you write in full sentences with capital letters and full stops.  Remember to explain if you like it or not using ‘because’.  I’d love it if you could share your responses with me.
