Music Puts Us (And Students) in Good Moods
And that’s why we can leverage it for learning in our classrooms!
I created an activity I call “Life Song”
It is a ton of fun and I have learned SO much from my students from the lesson.
Not only that, kids LOVE it.
They are:
Engaged.
Interested.
Communicative.
When can you use it?
This is PERFECT for:
– A fun 5-minute starter to your class- listen to 1-song each day and have students explain their choice to the rest of the class
– Creating a classroom playlist that you know kids will love!
– An SEL activity to learn more about kids on a deeper life level
– A curricular component for reading, English, or other communication classes
Attached below is the file you can access
I am sending you the exact document I used with my middle school and high school students, of course, you can change it to fit the needs of your kids’ age and ability.
Here is a PDF digital copy for you.
My life song may or may not be Whitney Houston’s Dance with Somebody
(I’m only partially kidding)
I hope you enjoy this engaging lesson!
Get ready for some audio awesome with students!
