LYRIC STUDY BUNDLE - Wicked + Into the Woods + Hairspray

Looking for a way to shake things up in your ELA classroom? Want to incorporate more arts and theater but don't know where to start? Look no further than Lyric Study Do Nows! You don't have to know anything about musicals or theater to teach it!

Lyric Study is a program introduced to me by Anthony Lombardi and my colleagues at PS/IS 49 in Queens. It is the study of a song's lyrics for 5-10min at the beginning of each ELA class - like a Do Now, but a musical one! Students answer questions based on the text while listening to the song, and practice writing short responses and note-taking.

Lyric Study with Broadway Shows takes that idea and attaches it to an entire musical. Due to its repetitive nature and short time frame, it is really great for ELL and students with neuro-diversities.

All three Lyric Studies contain the following:

• An introduction and explanation page
• A guide for note-taking
• A song list
• A song page with a brief synopsis of the play up to that point
• 3-5 prompts for students to answer
• Lyrics complete with bolded vocabulary words
• CCSS alignment and 1-point rubric
