today was the last day of art for my fabulous 4th graders. it's the end of the marking period and i have a whole new batch starting next week. I needed to do something quick (one class) yet meaningful, and have been cooking this up for a while in my head...
So, i listed out the lyrics from the powerful song, Imagine, by Lennon.
I barely desribed the task. The kids just knew what to do. They happily chose a line to work with and created imagery to go w/ their line.
I can't believe how obvious this was to my kids. How every single lyric made sense to them. How easy it was for them to imagine.
In this world today, I think some other people, especially those making the big decisions for our world, need to step back and imagine some of these things. I think some people could learn a lot from my 4th graders.
