M is for, #AtoZchallenge
M is for Music!
Music is an international language. Even when you can't understand the words, the sounds evoke a reaction in us.
Each year my classes horizons are opened by music and some discover new favorites. When students are doing independent groupwork I play Italian or French radio.
In particular, sharing my childhood favorites fosters a connection with my students like no other.(This year one of my students knew all the lyrics to this one!)
I like to just enjoy music with my students....sometimes songs lend themselves to something more and we can ClipChat the video or use premade resources:
Italian:
Lots on the ADG Blog
Books:
Nuovo Espresso Canzoni
E Ritorno da Te
Canta che ti passa!
Jovanotti 1998-2012
French:
Point du Fle
ISL
TV5Monde
Also, my colleague Kristen has created a whole unit on the music of Maitre Gims which you can learn more about if you atttend AATF Philadelphia this year!
How do you use music in your classroom?
