What educators are saying
Description
This is a ready-to-go, no prep, entirely done for you mini unit that is sure to engage your students, even if music is not their thing! I have created this unit to integrate music and language arts so that it is cross-curricular and purposeful, and can result in multiple marks for you as the teacher.
Students will:
* Learn about the history of music in the movies
* Explore some Oscar winners
* Learn specific terminology
* Develop an understanding and appreciation for mood, tone, and feeling conveyed through music
* Demonstrate comprehension of a book they've read (or you've read as a class)
* Design their own soundtrack using music that already exists
* Complete multiple inferencing and reflection questions
* Advertise their movie through a poster
--> Check out the preview for a full display of what is included!
Benefits for YOU:
* No prep! All you need to do is upload and go.
* All success criteria included + a rubric.
* Cross-curricular project making this a great use of time in an engaging manner that is relevant to students.
* All background info you need is included, so even the non-musically-inclined (like me!) can use this mini-unit seamlessly.
When I realized that I, a general education teacher, was going to have to teach Music to my students entirely online this year, I will admit that I panicked! Without instruments in their homes, or any musical talent of my own to rely on, I needed to get creative. That's where this mini-unit was born. I hope it eases your stress and helps you have fun with music and your students!
