History Through Music
Description

As a History teacher I look for ways to "bring the material to life" for my students. Long ago I experienced this type of lesson and really enjoy it as the students do too. The basic premise is to use a song about an event (for this class it will be from World War I); and upon listening to the lyrics, participants will draw images. The lyrics are read through twice and then listened to via Youtube. Participants will discuss what they learned, what stuck out, what they drew. Then they will watch the video of the song. My students rate it a "10/10" and "it is a creative way of thinking, and to depict the song". This lesson is something that can be used in just about any curriculum.
