Songs in the Classroom

[Carol Keeney]

I definitely agree with Hardhat. Choral speaking has traditionally been an opportunity for students to practice a language and notice how it works. If songs with standard English lyrics are used students can benefit from singing. This activity can be used creatively to motivate the students to create new lyrics, songs and poems.(application) Good luck to you.
