Hereโs what teachers are saying:
โ๏ธ “Wonderful idea!!! I found this activity on Pinterest. I am teaching four novels at one time. (I teach ninth grade English, six 45-minute classes!!) My three honors classes are reading Wuthering Heights while my three College Prep classes are reading Stargirl, Clover, and Bronx Masquerade. I plan to distribute this handout to be completed as they read the book. I look forward to hearing the comments and the sample songs that the students believe to be connected to the characters, theme, or main idea. The class discussions will be engrossing because students believe themselves to be experts concerning the music they love. I may learn a “thing or two” myself.” -Brooke R.
โ๏ธ “Great innovated activities! I appreciate your time and skill, thank you.” -Anonymous
โ๏ธ “My upper elementary students are going to love this activity.” -Pam W.
