Do you need one more “last week before the holidays” activity?
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired and ready for a break!
Lucky for you, I’m offering a great no prep, printable holiday activity that is sure to engage your students this holiday season.
For our final week of music classes, my older students are completing the ‘Home Alone’ Movie Music Soundtrack Analysis Task. The goal with this music lesson plan is to get students to watch the movie, listen closely to the musical soundtrack, and get them to describe how the music helps to support and enhance the scenes in the movie.
This music activity for students includes:
- 1 page introduction
- 3 page printable student worksheet
- Includes a brief summary of the 7 elements of music and 4 guiding questions
- 3 page student worksheet available on Google Slides™
- Perfect for distance learning and made to be used on Google Apps, such as Google Slides™ and Google Classroom™.
- Includes a brief summary of the 7 elements of music and 4 guiding questions.
- A ‘Google Classroom Help’ guide is also included to help answer any questions you may have with uploading the product correctly for your students.
Just print and go! While students watch the movie, they can critically listen and respond to how the musical soundtrack (and musical elements used) support what is happening in the scene. It’s engaging for students, integrates music, and requires no prep from you.
Note: You can access the Home Alone soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or here.
