Action Research Music Day 4

The second day of Piano music. Today was MUCH easier to get started, and I believe it was thanks to the music. The music seems to have a calming effect on the students, causing them to work quietly and quickly. However, I did notice the same things from the previous session; some students wrote very little and it seemed as if they had trouble coming up with ideas. Many finished around the 5 minute mark and stopped writing. Again, a few students looked off-task, but not in a rowdy way. They look more like they are very relaxed and day-dreaming. Almost as if they are just unmotivated to complete the task. I look forward to seeing if this is because they are bored with writing or if they are bored with the music when I implement Pop music next week.
