We ended our Sound Unit by making Recycled Instruments. Each student was taped while he/she presented their instrument to the class. The students also wrote a paragraph about the instrument and took a photo of it using an iPad. The students created a Glog (an interactive poster) incorporating all of the components. Click on the Glogster image below to see all of the Recycled Instrument Glogs. The slideshow gives you a front row seat to the "3H Jam Session." Enjoy!
