THE BEATLES
- The teacher will share samples of songs written by the Beatles. (www.youtube.com)
- The student and teacher will discuss persuasive language as it relates to writing.
- Using a Graphic Organizer, the teacher will share on the Whiteboard why she selected the Beatles as her favorite group, as the class works with the organizer.
- Students will state their favorite and list reasons why on the organizer.
- Students will write a persuasive compositions following the steps outline in an earlier lesson.
Assessment:
Students will write a persuasive composition concerning their favorite artist using an organizer and holistic rubric with 80% accuracy.
This lesson on the Beatles will introduce the Beatles, reinforce how persuasive music can be, and build upon the mastery of how to use persuasive techniques in writing with a focus on grammar.
Khan Academy was the main resource used because it provided a complete lists of activities that can be used and revised for differentiating assignments for students of varying levels because music is universal.
Because Khan Academy is used at LLLC, I can share this idea with the other teachers who are preparing students for the GED Writing, making feedback immediate for teachers who can modify, remix, or reuse this idea that was featured on the website.
