Specific language skills areas
• Use music to reflect upon ( writing and speaking) summarising, writing reflective paragraphs, writing narratives, free writing.• Research and present findings on some composers. • Teach critical thinking. • Teach writing thesis by connecting song chorus to thesis (can
be done over a few lessons , see Riley, 2010).• Lyrics for reading and pronunciation, vocabulary and
grammar forms.• Rewriting lyrics to sound more academic ( Murphy,1992;
Klassen, 2010)
02/05/2023 19Svetlana Lukovic
Reflective writing
Songs – usually reflect personal experience or reaction
Lyrics – can teach how to write essays – thinkof chorus being thesis or how to reflect on past experience

The collaboration principleCombine, create and shareStep 1
In pairs create/ make new words using the word “reflection” You can only use the letters that this word contains. The rules are not to use pronouns, prepositions, abbreviations, acronyms, articles and proper names. You can make nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs only. You need to write them down and you have 3 mins to finish.
After you have finished , a team/pair member writes on the board and the team/ pair with the highest number of correct words wins. Teachers, have prizes ready.
02/05/2023 26Svetlana Lukovic
Collaboration principle
Step 2• In pairs, decide which words belong to academic words list
and write a sentence for each.• Give students 5 – 7 minutes to complete sentences.• Next, students write them on the mini white boards, A3 paper
or an empty Padlet wall. Whichever you use, do a class review, or ask the pairs/ teams to review the sentences written by other teams.
• The aim is to have correct sentences and the correct use of prepositions.
