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.

This was a great resource to add to my novel study unit. The students were engaged. They love any opportunity to talk about their favorite music and I love getting them to connect the lyrics to what they’ve been reading!

I had my students create a playlist following a unit we did on The Hunger Games. They also had to send me a video clip in a Google slide show. They loved it!
Elizabeth B. –
My students responded positively to using this resource. Works well for all abilities as well.

This was super fun! I used this to accompany an activity during a book club unit. My seniors had so much fun with it.
Jamie M. –
My students were excited to have an activity that was connected to their interests. We used it with Bud, Not Buddy. The book has a lot of musical references, specifically jazz, and this activity was the perfect piece to help tie it all together.
