The incredible popularity of the movie musical "Wicked" has awakened many middle school students with a newfound love of musical theater.
When you watch them with your students, there are many wonderful themes to discuss in various musicals. The musical Shrek has themes of acceptance, love beyond appearances, and belonging that are so important for our middle school students.
You can discuss history while watching The Sound of Music, the civil rights movement when watching Hairspray the Musical, and child labor laws while watching Newsies the Musical.
With the "popularity" of the song "Popular", you can definitely connect with your students and help them begin to think critically about what it means to be Popular, so I created this free lesson to help you discuss the song with your students!
