Ms. Reimer’s General Music class showcased their creativity and teamwork by using AVID collaboration strategies to dive into the Renaissance period of music! 🎶✨ Students worked in groups to research and create posters about a characteristic, composer, or instrument from this fascinating era.
After presenting their posters, they completed a gallery walk, taking detailed notes on the information shared by their classmates. What an engaging way to learn and grow together! Great job, scholars! 🙌
