Distance choir (P3)
山东省烟台第二中学 孔洁
Activity 1 Lead-in
A lot of activities have been put on hold due to the pandemic, such as choir rehearsals. Can you figure out ways to solve this problem?
Activity 2 Skimming
Read the passage quickly and find what the main idea of the text.
La Voce Ballo, Bemidji High School’s all-women show choir, adapted to changes during the pandemic.
Activity 3 Scanning
Read the passage in detail and answer the following questions.
1. How did La Voce Ballo work during the pandemic?
They did virtual rehearsals and online auditions. They learned choreography and sang and danced in masks.
They had a computer set up in the middle of the room with students tuning in. They’d have half of their students coming in person, and half joining online.
2. What is one of the marked differences between LVB and the other choirs?
It is the sister-like relationship the members share. During full distance learning, for example, the group participated in a “Secret Sister” gift exchange, similar to a “Secret Santa”, within the choir and dropped off gifts at each others’ homes.
3. What was the hardest part of online rehearsals?
The hardest part of online rehearsals was not being able to hear the other students singing, as they generally turned off their individual microphones during these video sessions.
4. What was one benefit of online rehearsals?
Students had learned the music much more thoroughly than in other seasons as they couldn’t rely on someone else.
