Sandra Bacall, teacher and singer, created this film with her classroom about a song they wrote together for the City Wildlife Unit. At the end of the song, students talk about the songwriting process and compare it to the traditional writing process.
Using music appeals to students’ different learning modalities and increases engagement.
Jane posts her students’ poetry in response to this unit:
