Soundtrack of My Life Reflection and Creative Writing Activity (Rubric Included)

Hello, fellow educators! Welcome to the Soundtrack of My Life Reflection and Creative Writing Activity! This awesome creative writing Google Docs activity can be used with in person and virtual learners for hybrid learning-and it's editable! Encourage your students to reflect on meaningful events in their life so far AS IF IT WERE A MOVIE! This is a great activity for self-characterization and self-discovery, encouraging students to metaphorically connect music to life events, design an album cover that evokes an overall mood for their lives, and reflect on the process. Great for starters, sub plans, creative writing units, digital and in person learning, early finishers, and workshop activities, this fabulous activity encourages all students to reflect on their lives while drawing connections to the music they love! Check out the previews!
