Create movements, dances, body percussion, or drawings to show the different musical sections in Theme to "Star Wars" (ABA form) or Theme to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (ABACA form). Students should develop one pattern for each section (letter), e.g., one pattern to represent A, one pattern to represent B, etc. Both videos visually indicate when the musical sections change.
When listening to music in the classroom, point out repeated sections of music. Repetition is especially obvious when the lyrics repeat during the refrain/chorus (for example, the "let it go" section of "Let it Go" from "Frozen").
