Learn Through Music with Our Classroom and Homeschooling Resources
Here’s a sample of one of our fun lesson plans for elementary and middle school students:
- Secure your Backstage Pass.
- Ask your students what they know about a certain topic you are getting ready to teach.
- Chances are, they know little about that topic if you haven’t taught it yet.
- Select a Grammarheads video to use in your classroom.
- First, choose the music genre and topic category. Backstage Pass members have access to all options and songs, including Rock, Country, and Pop versions.
- Second, choose the song you’d like to use to teach your class.
- Print the Lyrics Sheet for students.
- Read the song lyrics aloud in whatever way works best for your classroom.
- Have your students highlight words and/or phrases while studying the lyrics.
- Once your students are familiar with the lyrics, move on to the next step.
- Open the video for your selected song and play it for your class.
- Ensure your speakers are turned up so that your entire class can hear.
- Click the ‘full view’ button on the top left of the video to make it full screen.
- Students often sing along on their own, but feel free to encourage them!
- Ask your class questions about any of the lyrics they read about and heard/watched in the video.
- Chances are, they know much more than they did before!
- Use the “Take the Quiz” option with the entire class to see how much they have learned.
- Download and print the Quiz if you need a hard copy assessment.
- Play the song as often as you’d like, that way everyone will continue to Learn Through Music!
