At each station only the stage directions are changed and students record on a graphic organizer how that changed their perception of the character. (The scene is short enough for students to read, discuss, reflect multiple times in one class period!)

Music History part 1~ Sub plans, a word wall. Video Study guide.
This is a Study guide to Howard Goodall's Story of Music (found on youtube from the BBC) The video is broken into 2 1/2 hour segments, so that students have time to collaborate, catch up, or only watch a short segment at at time.
