Kid Activists in Grade 5 with “Blowing in the Wind”

Students in Grade 5 music explored activism through  music. They started by analyzing Bob Dylan’s song “Blowing in the Wind.” Through analyzing the text they discovered the song is about compassion and the importance of being a catalyst of change.

After learning and recording the song we dove into real life kid activists! The Grade 5 students researched and wrote about a kid activist that inspired them. In the video you will see the big ideas the students took from their kid activists on the signs they are holding up.

The students in Grade 5 came to the conclusion that everyone can be the change no matter the age! All you have to do is find your passion and start learning. By learning you’ll connect by connecting you’ll engage. We encourage our students to talk to teachers, parents, friends, and community members about service learning and activism!
