How To Use This Editing Music Lyrics Grammar Activity:

• Musical Mistake of the Week: Introduce one of the grammar task cards to your class per week for 50 weeks. Each student gets a copy and makes the edits on their own (or you can do it in groups or pairs). Then you can use the PowerPoint to review it together as a class and come to a consensus.

• Writing Centers: Include a packet of the musical mistakes grammar task cards at a writing center where students can choose which one to work on. Edits can be made in their writing notebook rather than on the cards (so you don’t have to make multiple of copies). You can also make an answer key booklet for them to use after they have completed it, or double-side them so they can find the answer on the back!

• Pair or Group Work: Give each pair or group of students a musical mistake grammar task card and have them complete it together. Then each pair or group can present the mistake to the class, and share what edits they made. The class can give further suggestions.

What Teachers Are Saying About This Editing Music Lyrics Grammar Activity:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THESE!!!!! They are practical, helpful, and cute! You have saved all of us buyers lots of time. Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is such a fun resource. My students didn't realize how poorly some songs are written. One student commented how his mom had the radio on in the car, and he couldn't help but realize one of the lines had a grammar mistake. He was not happy about thinking of grammar while in the car. I loved his story and hopefully helped a few students along the way with their grammar.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students love this activity, I have never had students look forward to grammar instruction, until now. I play part of the song before displaying the lyrics on the board. I challenge them to find the corrections needed. My students enjoy listening to the music, and have started bringing me in lyrics that contain grammar errors that they find on their own. Thank you.
