Music Monday #22 (I've Lived)

"I've Lived" by One Republic

*Monday brings another musical selection that I will share with my students.

*I have found that music can lead to some really deep and meaningful writing.

*Both videos will be shared several times throughout the week.

*After we watch one video on Monday, my students will write in their writer's notebooks.

*They can record their thoughts, reactions, feelings, emotions, reminders, or connections.

*The writers spend between five and ten minutes in their notebooks.  

*After writing, a few of the kids will share what they wrote.  

*The lyrics of the song are quite powerful and I find the first video very emotional.
