Martin Swinger: Links

See Martin songwriting with 1st and 2nd graders!: Watch as the students interact, focus, do creative problem solving, manage meter, brainstorm rhymes, choose between ideas, fine tune and sing along throughout the process of creating a song about Life Cycles. Students are clearly engaged and learning through the process and interested in the outcome. This could be YOUR classroom!
