    LESSON PLAN: Rewriting a Song


    Objective:
    Students will learn how to write a song based on the pattern of a known song

    Resources:
    Pencil, Paper, Recording of Selected Song, Lyrics

    Procedures:

    ❶ Choose a song that is known to the students. Hint: You can do this
    ahead of time by choosing several songs and then allowing the
    students to pick their favorite. Find recordings and lyrics of the song.

    ❷ Hand out the lyrics to the students and then play the recording of the
    song as the students follow along

    ❸ Next have the student rewrite the lyrics. What will work best here is
    if you only change a few words to get the ideas rolling. (Ex: “I want it
    that way” by the Back Street Boys can easily be changed to “I want it
    MY way” with a possible reference to a popular fast food chain. This
    starts the students thinking in a particular direction and will allow
    them to be creative either in small groups or as a whole class.

    ❹ Once the lyrics are written down either by the group leader or by
    the teacher, sing them along to recording. Hint: Many times karaoke
    versions of the song are available via YouTube.

    Extensions:

    ❶ If you pick a song that has an easy chord progression, I have the
    students play along with the recording.

    COMPOSITION
    ❷ Choose rhythms that work with the song from the teacher manual.

    Just for FUN!

    Have the students record their songs. This can be done via a
    Smartphone, Computer or another recording device. This way they
    have reference copy that can serve them in the future to see how they
    improved or maybe even something they would like to change.

    National Core Arts Standards (Music):


    National Core Arts Standards (Music) Anchor Standard 2: Organize and develop artistic ideas and
    work. Example: Harmonizing Instruments MU:Cr2.1.H.5a (Novice) Select, develop, and use standard

    of simple melodies (such as two-phrase) and chordal accompaniments for given melodies. (applies

    produce rhyming words. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.4 Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular
