TITLE: Music to Promote Creativity
Music can be used to give students some “relief”, and can also be used to practice pronunciation, everyday language, common expressions and grammar. But songs and their lyrics also have the ability to move us, our memories and our imagination as well. They tell us stories, give us a portrait of a character or help us to create a scene. So, why not using them to help our students to inspire their writing?. Given the necessary tools, students can be challenged to write different pieces of writing like letters, alternate endings, predictions or a criminal’s profile.
