Our Wish
As a class we collaborative wrote a song together. This was a cooperative writing assignment. Students were to write a song in 4-4 time that is both French and English that reflected their feelings about war.
I recorded the (poorly played) guitar part at home with my Macbook using GarageBand. Students performed their song in front of the entire school during our Rememberence Day assembly. Several families and teachers commented on the quality of the students’ performance.
As a class, we had voted in favor of recording the song and posting it on our blog. I bought a T.sonic 840 by Transcend through Tiger Direct to facilitate this recording. Prior to our winter break students performed the song again in our class and I recorded it using my digital recorded. Here is the final product. Hope you enjoy!

Hello!
What a day! Our class performed at our school’s Remembrance Day. Our students performed a song that we wrote cooperatively in class. I had hoped to video tape our performance and produce DVDs for our families. This plan was however smitten when someone put a camcorder with a dead battery in the cabinet. When I tried to tape our students singing… all I could do was gently put down the useless camcorder. I did however take this picture that I would like to share with you. Many staff and students commented on the quality of our performance and the originality of the written lyrics. I am very proud of all our students!
