Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Effective Communication Self Directed Learning Collaboration Anchor Standard 2 Anchor Standard 1 Anchor Standard 3 Submission Required

Using a class design brief, students generate three distinct class song concepts on a planning mat: one mood choice, one simple chord/rhythm pattern, and 2-4 lyric lines for each option. The teacher briefly models how to vary message, beat, and word choice so the ideas are meaningfully different. Small groups then select one concept to prototype based on which idea best fits the intended audience and class message.
