⭐ High interest songs with great lyrics. This makes my students excited to practice poetry skills. They ask me which song we will do 'today'.

⭐ Students love this! Songs are relevant and students love to figure out the meanings of their favorite tunes. Great activity for individual, partner, small group, and whole group work.

⭐ As a 20+ years music teacher who is now in an ELA classroom, I look to find ways to incorporate music. This product is amazing! It is exactly what I had in mind to create but luckily, Mr. Mault already did it for me! My students and I have so much fun with these, while doing rigorous, standard aligned work! Love it!
