The only difference is my chart should say it was recorded in Orange, NJ. I didn't want to risk deleting my chart. -Ryan Hey, Here is my chart for listening to the Stars and Stripes Forever. Let me know what you think, or if you would like to do a different audio file. Thanks -Ryan

Antonio

Antonio - I am trying not to laugh but we were both just editing at the same time. Everything looks good so far. I might sign out for a little bit so I don't mess us up. It's been good working with you. -Ryan

==Group Discussion== Ryan - Do you have any preference on which recording to use? I have listened to a couple from each category so far. I am not big on the category's of Foreign Language and Ethnic Recordings or Opera and Concert Recordings. I am not counting those out however. May be a good time for me to learn something that I don't know much about. Open to all suggestions and thoughts. Hello, How about John Phillip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever? Its a march that a lot of bands play for the 4th of July. I have played it in band a few times, and its pretty upbeat. I agree that some of the other recordings are definately not things I would want to listen to for pleasure. -Ryan The Stars and Stripes Forever is fine with me. Glad that you choose one that is upbeat. I have listen to it and can't stop whistling.....I will be posting my NARA worksheet on it sometime Saturday.

Ryan- I took a look at your NARA worksheet and noticed that we have a different answer to the question of "Where was this recording made"? I thought that it was Orange, N.J and you thought that it was Edison, N.J. I was not quite sure what to put down as my answer when I first seen Orange and Edison listed. I believe that we were suppose to take a guess at it from the information listed with the recording so I think that I may of cheated by searching the web. I took a visit to a website about the band that performed the recording []. this website gave me a little more insight on the date of recording. It also persuaded me to believe that Orange, N.J. may of been where this recording was made by the information that it provided on what Edison was. Check it out and see what you think. Antonio - I liked your analysis. You are correct, it was recorded in Orange, NJ. The Library of Congress Website said the same thing as well. I liked the fact that it was upbeat as well. Good Job -Ryan Ryan - I have tried to bring some ideas together as to answering the last part of our assignment. I am bouncing around trying to think of different subject areas to use this recording. I know that we do not have to have 5 different subject areas to apply this recording to just 5 ways that it could be used. I will try to concentrate more on the application of this recording within a particular subject instead of bouncing around so much. Please feel free to add to or delete any information that you think does not apply.

I noticed that we were both signed in at the same time too! A message showed up on the page that said "Ryan Hinton has saved this page". Modern technology is something else. The feeling is mutual when it comes to working with you my friend.

Describe your reasons for selecting this particular recording. I didn't have a preference on which recording to use and Ryan suggested John Phillip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever. We both agreed and liked the fact that it is upbeat and Ryan has played this tune before in band. I liked the fact that it was an upbeat tune.

Explain why you believe this recording could be effective with students. It would be effective with students especially now with our current situation in Afghanistan and Iraq. The students would be able to identify the recording with the troops deployment and return. Most of our students are familiar with family and friends serving in the military, so yes they could agree.

Describe at least 5 ways the recording could be used in the classroom. Try to expand ideas for different subject areas and/or grade levels. For each lesson idea, include a brief description of how this activity could help promote critical thinking skills in students. **__History__** - I can see this recording being used when teaching about any war that the United States has been involved in. In wars before the students time it would make them think and wonder about the time period of the event and why the music was recorded. In more recent wars it could bring about critical thinking as to why the recording has relevance still today. Absolutely!!! Even having the students analyize the importance of the ceremonial aspect of our nation's military.

__**Language Arts**__ - This recording could be used within an assignment for a term paper. The students would be writing about the composer John Phillip Sousa and this recording could be used as a primary source for their research. Critical thinking skills would be used as the students research the life of John Phillip Sousa. Students could write a reaction to simply hearing the piece as a warm up of sorts. Another activity could be to get the students to relate a song of their choice to an important event in history.

__**Music**__ - Obviously, students could learn about different styles of music in music class including marches.

Technology - Having student listen to and analyze sound bites is a great way to add technology into the classroom. Maybe try to get the students to include audio/video files to create a multimedia presentation.
