sing?

July 15th, 2007

This blog is meant to be a free resource for teachers and provide the following:

- Standards-based songs about elementary, middle, and high school topics
- Worksheets/activities to enhance the songs
- Discussion around the use of this curriculum

Basic curriculum process:

1. Hand out or project the lyrics, read them out loud and discuss their meaning
2. Play the song for the students, multiple times encouraging them to sing along
3. Use the worksheet/activity in place, or to supplement class notes
4. Allow students a few minutes, in groups, to “act” out a portion of the song
5. Film the students singing/acting out the song
6. Using a FIZZ Environment developed by The Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, upload the finished “music video” on the class blog so the students can view and share the product
