Making The Band

By MsNerdWood

This project is designed for students to create their own original artist/band and to market their newly formed artist(s). It is appropriate for middle school students (grad 6-8) and is always a crowd pleaser!

Students submit a band/artist portfolio which includes a profile about their artist/band, a concert poster, album cover art, and a jingle. The jingle can be performed using an instrumental track to a piece that they enjoy. Included are some examples of products that they could write a jingle about. A rubric for assessment purposes is included and you could even extend this project further by creating an art assessment piece for the album cover art and concert poster.

This assignment typically takes approximately 5-10 classes to complete, from introducing it to completing the final jingle performances. It is handy to have students to complete a rough copy of their work before submitting their good copy to ensure their best quality work is submitted.

NEW YEAR Chart Activity (print + digital)

By Early Childhood Essentials

Update Dec 2023: Now Easel / digital option!

Anything "Easel" or digital use might operate or format differently from TeachShare, with their "Remix" feature.


Inside you'll find a simple sheet children can fill out when they have free time or end an activity early. The year at the top can be written each year.

The purpose is to get children thinking about, well, their thoughts*****! Also to think about their wants, fears, and goals.

<*metacognition is the act of thinking about thoughts**>**

They don't have to fill out the whole entire set of bullets, but encourage at least a few in each column. As the teacher or parent, you can guide them on how to process those wants/fears and reach those goals with practical, achievable steps.

I've provided a few examples for each column.

If you like this product or others, or you want to stay notified about new ones, consider giving me a follow if you haven't!

Copyright © Early Childhood Essentials

If you like this freebie, do me a favor and if you share this with someone, send them the *link* to download as they have access to links and other resources for my content. Please don't simply make hard copies as they won't easily be able to click and follow. Thank you in advance!
