4th Grade Jazz Glogs

During their last rotation in the lab before winter break, students created glogs representing the jazz musicians they are studying in preparation for their "We Haz Jazz" show on January 28th. A glog is an online poster that allows students to embed images, videos, and text.

Working with partners, students researched the lives and careers of selected musicians. In addition to practicing the skill of taking notes from websites, the students were introduced to the concept of documenting sources for a bibliography. Students were required to collect copyright, URL, and author information for each of the websites used in the research process. They also included resources for media used on their final projects.

A grading rubric was used to help guide the students during the process with an emphasis on content, use of media, design, and mechanics.

Enjoy these wonderfully informative projects!
