I met Class 5G and their teachers Mrs Ward and Mrs Grey to compose a blues song that would portray the thoughts of Olaudah Equiano at one of his lowest points - on board the ship taking him away from his homeland. Christopher took the role of Olaudah and held a freezeframe position as the children applied their knowledge of poetry and vocabulary to thought-track Olaudah's feelings and write really thoughtful lyrics for this song. They too enjoyed improvising with their voices in the practices. This time, the children sang over a backing track which I created in Garageband.
