Commercial Jingles

During the month of April, 5th grade chorus members had a chance to help me try out the brand new Quaver's Marvelous World of Music Curriculum.  It's an interactive, multimedia program for grades K-5.  It's a very impressive product!  

One of the components of the 5th grade curriculum is called the "Commercial Jingle Project." Over about 7-8 class periods, students worked in small groups to create a promotional package for a fictional product.  They came up with a product, a poster for their product, a 30 second ad copy (the "spiel" for the commercial) with live background music, and a catchy jingle with recorded backing tracks.  

We took two days to present our commercials in class.  It was sort of like the 5th grade equivalent of Shark Tank!  Below are a few videos of some of the presentations.  There's a video of each group's ad copy with background music and a video of their jingle.  You'll see the videos for Relax Central (a comfy chair for school), Cutty Cutters (a programmable hair-styler), and Micro Magic (a microwave-style product that creates any food you program it to!). 

*Note:  Please forgive the poor quality of these videos.  I was filming on my iphone while simultaneously running the sound for all the groups.
