My goal was to have my students use critical thinking to discover why some instruments are capable of creating more than one sound and to create a simple instrument based on what was learned. This is CP1.5 in the arts ed. Curriculum. “Create music expressions and contribute to decisions about ideas, sounds, instruments and order.” First we learned about high and low pitches and what those terms mean. After that students looked at the following instruments in small groups: autoharp, boomwhackers, recorder, bells, chimes, and slide whistle. They were given the challenge to find the highest and lowest pitches first and then to discuss how the instrument construction determined this.

The figurative sculptures featured in this resource furnish one part of the historical puzzle of this region. These handsome terracotta sculptures are from the Inland Niger Delta region near Djenne (pronounced JEH-nay; also spelled Jenne), one of several important trading cities that grew and developed during the Mali Empire.

This art history video discussion examines Edouard Manet's "The Balcony", 1868-69, oil on canvas, (Musee d'Orsay, Paris). The three principal figures depicted are each a friend of the artist.

So, let me ask you the question: How often do we let students “work the problem” in our schools and classrooms?
Do we give students a chance to figure it out on their own or in a small group? Do we challenge them to solve a challenge in a fixed amount of time? Do we let them struggle and fail to the point where they have to work the problem and find a solution?
With PL - Now every student was “working their own problem” and stumbling, struggling, and fighting to find a solution of how to learn, make, create, and launch an idea out into the world.
“The Martian” is a great example of working the problem. He has to use a multitude of 21st Century Skills, along with his team, and the people back on Earth to work together to survive and get him home.
