Objective:  I can use my imagination and descriptive detail to tell a story about what I see in the painting and hear in the music "Isle of the Dead."
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  When you see the title, "Isle of the Dead" what comes to mind?
    • Take a close look at the painting.  Jot down a few ideas about what you think might be going on there on a scrap piece of paper.
    • Title a new page in your story section“Isle of the Dead”
      • As you listen to the music, approximately 20 minutes, write the story you think is being represented.
    • If you get stuck, look back at the painting or your list of ideas; you should be writing as long as the music is playing.
    • You will be given a 5 min. warning when the song is coming to an end.  You should try to give your story a resolution during that time.
    • Get a different colored marker or pen than you wrote in.
    • After writing, using the new color, you will S.T.A.R. your work.  This means:
      • S:  Substitute any words or phrases that are bland using a thesaurus, synonym finder, or new ideas.
        T:  Take-away any parts you don’t think fit.
        A:  Add any ideas you didn’t get to during the writing.
        R:  Rearrange any ideas that seem out of order or would be better placed somewhere else.
    • Trade your story with a partner.  Write a note to your partner about the differences you see between their ideas and your own.
    • Be prepared to share the topic of your story with the class.
  • Exit Task:  Answer at bottom of your journal:  Why do you think there are so many variations even though we all looked at the same picture and listened to the same song?
  • With thanks to Cheryl Forster’s Workshop:  Music as a Springboard for Writing, NIWP 2011
