This page features sample compositions of various grade level (K-12th) student projects. All the original projects were written, composed, recorded, and produced by students based on the "think, plan, assemble, produce" lesson plans from Zig's cross-curricular workshops. Detailed lesson plans from the workshop are featured in Zig's book, Mr. Zig's Literacy, Music and Technology Connection (Alfred Publishing), and Mixcraft for the Classroom (Acoustica) co-authored by Steve Riddle.
