What Teachers Are Saying About These Song Lyrics Inference Activities:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️One of my favorite resources found on TPT so far!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I appreciate how this resource uses music, but takes it to a new learning level. It goes beyond merely identifying figurative language and retelling the big ideas, but rather digging deeper and using inferences.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had to tell you right away that this lesson was such a huge hit that kids were talking about it and couldn't wait to get to class! I played the music clips as we analyzed and discussed the lyrics. Thanks for a great lesson that was extremely engaging, required little to no planning, and no correcting!
