R.A.C.E. Song for Constructed Responses

Created by

I wrote this song to help my students remember the steps to writing a constructed response. This is a new concept to them and they need to be prepared for the new state test, Georgia Milestones. They will RESTATE the question, ANSWER the question, CITE evidence from the text, and EXPLAIN their answer.

Created by

Melissa Ross

Using Katy Perry's "Roar" song, students are asked to find similes, metaphors, and idioms as well as poetic elements such as alliteration, assonance, rhyme, and repetition. As a closure activity, students are asked what they would like to "ROAR" about and use their answers to help introduce opinion writing.

Students follow along to the lyrics as they listen to "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson. Students reflect on the meaning of the song and apply it to themselves. Teachers are also presented an opportunity to discuss figurative language, grammar, and poetry as well as ample connections to the real world.
