I returned self-image projects yesterday. If you have not yet completed these assignments, please see me.
In anticipation of the final project in our music unit, we have begun to work on close analysis of lyrics. We began our class with a connecting activity, where students read lines from a song and put their thoughts about these lines on post-it notes. After moving to all five stations, students were asked to make a prediction about what the song might be about.
Then, we listened to the lyrics of the song, and filled out a "Four Quadrants" page... noting our emotions, sensory words, pictures and/or powerful words and phrases. I then handed out a copy of the lyrics, we listened again, and we filled out further thinking on the Four Quadrants page. After students had an opportunity to talk to a partner about the song and their thoughts on it, students began to make notes on the lyrics page, showing their analysis of the words.
We will continue with this analysis next class.
