ACT
Using the lyrics, music and video of a selected song (example used here is 'One' by the Irish group U2), students will explore the ways in which words, music and visual images interact to create meaning. Students will analyze the song/video as a work of art (literary, musical, visual) as well as examine its larger cultural/historical context. This interdisciplinary activity appeals to multiple intelligences and can be used as a motivational or supplemental exercise in a variety of subject areas. The activity encourages student creativity and develops analytical and critical thinking skills. SL.9-10.1 Discussion, SL.9-10.1a Prepared/Discuss, SL.11-12.1 Discussion
