The Great Community Mystery

The Great Community Mystery, encourages inner-city youth to celebrate their community, its people and its history while they develop skills in map reading, geography, multimedia technology and music performance and appreciation. The project concludes with student recording sessions and an all-school assembly, reinforcing the meaning of community and instilling pride in the students' neighborhood. In addition, ROAM teaching artists bring a SMART Board into the classroom, and students work with interactive maps and video clips to solve the Great Community Mystery. (Students will record the songs they have written with professional musicians, and each student will receive a copy of their recording.)
