Music has the power to bring topics alive. Learners take on the role of sound director in their film planning and choose the songs to accompany their photographs. They must also support their decisions with evidence and reasoning as they create a soundtrack for their films about the Little Rock Nine.

Instructional Ideas
- Post guiding questions to think about while choosing the song for the soundtrack
- Continue filling in the Photograph and Song Choice note-catcher
Classroom Considerations
- Lesson four of eight in the Grade 8 ELA Module 3B, Unit 3
- Set up listening stations for the songs —“A Change Is Gonna Come,” “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around,” “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and “This Little Light of Mine”
Pros
- Songs are already selected for the listening stations
- Notes aid in the creation of modeled tasks
Cons
- The inclusion of the Mid-Unit 3 assessment and answer key from the previous lesson is confusing
