Instructional Ideas

  • Invite a counselor or someone with a personal testimony to speak with the class of anxiety

Classroom Considerations

  • Part one of four in an integrated project called Changing One's Tune: A Music Therapy STEM Integrated Project
  • Easy to use the lesson alone, and/or with the ELA unit, and/or with the larger unit
  • Must create a free account to access the entire lesson plan/materials

Pros

  • Allows a personal connection to the lesson
  • Involves a variety of strategies (close reading, group discussion, reflection, hands-on activities) to keep students engaged

Cons

  • None
