Each lesson provides standards-based skills practice in songwriting organized in the following ways:

  • TEACHER'S GUIDES that walk you through the instruction of standards-based content, including teaching tips to introduce, teach, guide and quickly assess your student's progress in content mastery.
     
  • GUIDED PRACTICE including student worksheets that use contemporary, age-appropriate lyrics as a springboard for standards-based practice, including academic vocabulary and point-of-use guided standards practice and graphic organizers.
     
  • YOU TRY IT! student worksheets that provides your students with practice so they can develop both literacy skills and creativity.  The worksheets include goals graphic organizers and room for independent writing.
     

Your students will build a songwriting portfolio as they work through each lesson!  As they do, they will apply standards-based literacy skills in a meaningful way.
