DUANESBURG FIFTH GRADE MUSIC PROJECT

The Duanesburg Fifth Grade Music Project, led by Patrick Stevens, Erica Luong, and other educators, aims to improve students' understanding of research techniques while linking them to music education. Guided by Ms. Wilkes and Ms. Dougherty, students participate in pre- and post-surveys to gauge their knowledge of online research tools like Searchasaurus. The project emphasizes the importance of skepticism toward the World Wide Web and fosters a more engaging, kid-friendly approach to learning research methods. The outcome is a fun, comic book-style presentation that encourages students' creativity and critical thinking.
