Musical Poetry
In this project, students chose a favourite song, wrote the lyrics on a page, drew their own illustrations, then presented the song to the class.  In their presentation, they read the song as a poem, spoke about the meaning of the lyrics, then played the song for the class.
 
See the assignment musicalpoetry.jpg.  This lesson was created by Mike Higgins and Anne-Marie Klein of Swansea Public School.
