The TpT Cyber Sale is happening NOW! 12/2 and 12/3!
For those who know me, you know I love teaching sight singing, but you also know that I love musical theater even more. When I was in the classroom, the Broadway-themed shows my students and I created and presented each spring were the engines that cranked and built my program. When we would take a break from preparing for upcoming concerts, we almost always watched some sort of musical. But, we did way more than just watch it. We had discussions and did activities that were incredibly deep, fun and informative about subjects like...acceptance, love beyond appearance, belonging, empowerment, encouragement, good vs. evil, history, civil rights, integration, and more. Those are the themes in the musicals that I cover in this bundle- Shrek, Matilda, and Hairspray.
The students could feel the passion I brought to the table about musical theater and the themes around various shows, and they responded to it positively...whether or not they had ever watched a musical theater presentation or movie musical before in their lives!
These lessons are intended to be used in the following ways-
*Watch the musical (links to how to watch them are in the package you buy so that you don't have to search.). Watching the shows will take about 3-5 class periods if you have them 50 minutes a day depending on the length of the musical.
*Have the students answer the plot questions as they watch or use the plot questions as a quiz after they've watched it.
*Explore the themes and lessons each musical teaches through one or all of the extension activities I've included to help drive home the important lessons of each of the shows.
If you did every activity I've included for this unit, you could cover an entire nine weeks of lessons if you see your students 50 minutes a day every day, and the best part is that you'll have fun with your students while teaching very important lessons that will stick with them, and help them to think, grow, bond with their classmates, and want to learn more about the topics!
All of my lessons follow the S-Cubed philosophy- 3/4 Learning + 1/4 Cup Fun = SUCCESS!
