When students are asked to connect music to characters or events, they are thinking critically. They are ...
examining songs to determine context and relevance.
comparing and contrasting the meaning or mood of the music to the character or event.
practicing abstraction by creating a story or conveying a mood with music.
Developing a system for naming, storing, and organizing the songs gives students the opportunity to exercise their problem-solving skills. This project would be most conveniently carried out in a digital environment.
Students could work collaboratively on adding to the collection and organizing it.
