Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Sti Lesson 3: Fifties/sixties Musical Playwriting

This unit appeals to multiple intelligences, encourages interdisciplinary learning, reinforces self-confidence, and stimulates creativity, co-operation and critical thinking. Using songs with a strong narrative, students are asked to imagine scenes that might take place immediately before and after the events of the song. Students develop these ideas into a script and then rehearse and perform it. Throughout the process students work in groups and critique each other.
