Music That Moves You (My favourite song)
This independent assignment allows students to show off a piece of their personality! This project is always a big hit as a "getting to know you" project for teens. Students are able to develop critical thinking skills while exploring a song they love. I have used this project with grades 8, 9, and 10 in my leadership classes. However, I have made it 100% modifiable so, it can be altered to fit the needs of whatever grade you are teaching. I typically have students use this sheet to help them an

Musical Theater Projects
This is a very flexible project for you or for a sub that could take 90 minutes or be turned into a unit, depending on how you wish to proceed. It's not a subject that is taught often with this much detail, so it holds the interest of students. It is easy to supplement with clips from the songs and shows mentioned in the packet, readily found on the Internet. Most students will take the path of least resistance and do a PowerPoint project, but you will have some students who welcome the opportun

Music- Rock and Roll in the 1960s
The break between the music of the 1950's and the 1960's is imprecise. A reasonable way of "dating" the 1960's is with the "British invasion" of American Music. This refers to numerous British groups, admirers and emulators of American rock and roll, who broke into the U.S. market during the early 1960's. Part I of this lesson talks about the British Invasion. The Beatles made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, February 9, 1964. In New York City, there were 50,000 reque
