Literacy is the development of a continuum of skills, knowledge, and attitudes that prepare all of our learners for life in a changing world community. It begins with the fundamental acquisition of skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, representing, responding, and mathematics. It becomes the ability to understand, think, apply, and communicate effectively in all subject and program areas in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes.

Which way to begin?
Rehearse, Evaluate, Refine
Evaluate and refine personal and ensemble performances, individually or in collaboration with others. Enduring Understanding: To express their musical ideas, musicians analyze, evaluate, and refine their performance over time through
application of appropriate criteria. Essential Question: How do musicians improve the quality of their performance? MU:Pr5.3.E.IIIa Develop, apply, and refine appropriate rehearsal strategies to address individual and ensemble challenges in a varied repertoire of music.
