Music Monday #32: When I See You Again by Wiz Khalifa

"See you Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth

*I can't believe that is is our final music selection for the year.

*These Monday features are one of my favorite writing days we do as a class.

*Last year a student suggested this song to me to use for our final one.

*Then again this year a current student asked if we could do the song.  It must be a great song to use for a final goodbye song!

*This was our 32nd Monday (and final) where we featured a musical selection.

*Each Monday I highlight a piece of music to share with my writers.  

*We begin with showing a video that goes along with the musical selection.

*The class will watch the video between 1-2 times.

*After the second viewing, the writers begin to record their thoughts in the notebooks.

*As they write, I play the music in the background (minus the video).

*My fourth graders can record their thoughts, ideas, connections, likes/dislikes, or reactions to the song.  They can also write about the message of the song.  


*I have my students write between 5-10 minutes.  At the end of our writing time, I see if a few of the writers would like to share what they wrote.
