M1B Music

M1B are composing pieces using AABA form, and assessing each other. Here are some of them hard at work in the classroom:





HOMEWORK: Add a comment (click on the comment link below this post) and tell me how you felt when you were assessed by the others in your group. In what ways is it different (better? worse?) than just being graded by the teacher? Don't forget to leave your first name on the comment so I know who posted it! This should be done by the start of the new term (January 11th 2008)

I think being graded by peers is about the same as being graded by teachers. It was fun to perform my piece in front of my peers. Gradeing others is kinda hard because you don't want to give them a bad grade. If they got something rather low you don't want to give them a NI or worse. But of course you should give them the grade they earned.

I think beeing assessed by others is ok if they are nice. If they are your BFFL or enemy then it might not be such a good idea because they will give you the grade that they think of you not on how well you have done your work. I think my group was very well organized and i think we didnt jodge each other on the friendship criteria!!!! I like judging others but if they dont do so well somtimes i dont wont to hurt there feelings and tell them that!!!!

i thought it was okay to be judged by peers but sometimes they judge ur work when u r'nt ready. So i would be happier for the teacher to grade the work because she doesn't judge it by if she likes that student or not. She doesn't care if u r hated by others all she cares about is they work. I wasn't really happy with some of my comments so i think the teacher should grade them more often.

i liked being assessed by others. it was good because your peers know how you feel when you are perfoming. it was fair because my team judged by the performance an not by anything else like if they were friends with you or not. It was hard to assess others cause you don't want to make htem upset by giving them a bad grade if hteir performance was not so good.

It felt different because my friends would be grading me. Since they were my friends I was a bit nervous because I was worried if they would gimme a bad grade and that that would affect our friendship somehow. I was also worried that if I gave them a bad grade it would also affect our friendship even more and I didnt want that to happen! However If it was a teacher grading me I wouldnt mind so much because they are usually just neutral.

It was really nervous because i didnt know what my friends were going to say. I thought my were going to be mad at me for giving them a bad grade because i have never graded anyone in my life
