Reflection #10

Music can be used to help children engage in creative activity through storytelling. Children have to use their brains to think of different sounds to add into stories. They have to really engage in the story and think about what sounds go to certain words. I know that I even had a hard time coming up with sounds for the story that we read this week. I had to come up with a sound for a new shiny car and I had to use my creative side to come up with that sound. In this kind of activity, "student-centered" learning is taking place because the children have to engage themselves in the activity. They have to think and use their creativity to help create the story.
