-Read Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers - Mozart
-Read Music Talks for Children ch 17-18
Then choose one or more of the following:
-Practice a song written by Mozart and bring it to share with the class
-Research a little more about Mozart and make a Prezi or other presentation about him
-After reading Chapter 17, become a "pupil of good thought" by listening several times to a favorite song by Mozart. Make it your "principal aim to get into his heart" (pg 69) as you listen. Remember to examine your own heart before you listen, as is advised in chapter 17. Share your insights or thoughts through writing or some other medium.
-Follow the Roman Lady's advise to "not only forbear from doing anybody an ill turn, but not so much as to endure the thoughts of it" by trying to consciously monitor your thoughts for an entire day to make sure they are good "seeds" you are planting which will blossom into action. Share your insights and what you learned through your day.
-After reading chapter 18, compare yourself to a plant. What are some similarities and differences (besides the obvious ones!) How do you feel about how you are growing? What can you do to establish a firmer hold and find more light? Are some of your trials helping you grow? In what way? Do you do the things you do with "your heart on the task" as is advised? Present your insights (prezi, writing, graph, skit, drawing, etc)
