Text Structures Rap (Iggy Azalea Parody)
Many of my students were struggling with learning and recognizing the differences between the six nonfiction text structures. So, I rewrote Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" to include information about cause and effect, question and answer, description, problem and solution, compare and contrast, and chronological order/sequence. Enjoy!
Also, I changed "I.G.G.Y." to M.U.L.E because our school mascot is the mule. You could change that part to any four letter word or team you'd like.

Rock the Test Song
Our theme for testing this year was, "Rock the Test!" I created a short song for my students using the tune, "I Love Rock and Roll!" We would sing this just before taking a standardized test to help get the students motivated. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine did!

Lively Preposition Song
A little diddy that was taught to me in 5th grade that I still remember to this day. A fun and surefire way to remember what words are prepositions. Sing to the tune of "William Tell Overture." Skip the boring grammar lesson and get some singing going instead; students will love it!

The NURSE Song
