Hi JoAnna,
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing :)

We sing everyday in class - I incorporate the daily song into the OWL
format sometime during the class period - sometimes we play musical
chairs while singing, or use the song for Smoosh! or sing in a circle
while doing something (ie. send the clap, swaying, moving in and out
like the tide), we play "don't forget the lyrics" or combine singing
with gestures.
We'll also watch the video without sound and one partner will describe
what they see to another who isn't looking at screen, then watch all
together and sing. Dance offs can be fun, too.
I am going to try a modified version of the embedding literacy activity
we did with Annie with songs this year as well

I think the key is to make sure that everyone practices singing it as a
class. They need to risk singing aloud even though they fear they can't
sing or "don't have a voice." Singing in a group is powerful, fun, and
can help build community. You might give one quarter of the class verse
1, another verse 2, another verse 3, and another the chorus. Or let
everyone join in on the chorus.
Perhaps you ask one of the dancers in class to choreograph some moves
and then teach the class his/her steps.
You might also ask them to develop a storyboard for their own music
video to the song, or to craft a lyrics book, puppet show, live
theatrical presentation, lo que sea.
Singing with my class has become one of the greatest joys of teaching
for me...and I am not one who looks to sing solo or even in public, but
with students in the classroom it's a real pleasure.
Suerte con las canciones.

Hi everyone,
I'm doing my música miércoles (music Wednesday) this year with OWL...
AH! This morning I had one tough class and one decent one with a Juanes
song and am wondering what kinds of things people have tried.
Thanks!!!
Heidi
P.S. First day was GREAT! :) Thank you all for being so supportive.
