In Grade 7 music, students have been researching, playing and analyzing music from Central Asia and the wider Muslim world. Today they gave presentations on the Uyghur people and Uzbekistan. As you can see, the students really got into the culture by bringing food and performing dances as parts of their presentations!
While these presentations were about music in particular, the Humanities and English units on Central Asia are concurrent. In English for example, students are reading a novel about the life of two girls in Afghanistan. In Humanities, they are studying cultural geography of Afghanistan and Central Asia.
Discovering connections between subject areas is a hallmark of the IB Middle Years Programme; this is a perfect example of that happening!
