Beethoven’s Life as Told by Second Graders
Posted by: awillis2 in Lesson Plans, Reflections
My students in second grade learned about the life and music of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827). We read a book titled Ludwig van Beethoven by Louis Sabin. We then listened and moved to his music. Finally, we watched Beethoven Lives Upstairs, a movie about a nine-year old who comes to adore Beethoven and realizes that Beethoven is a musical genius. We then wrote facts about Beethoven’s life and music, recorded ourselves speaking about Beethoven’s life, and picked the music to accompany our podcast. My students hope that you will enjoy their podcasts!
