If students and/or teachers want to write a fun and educational song as a special or enrichment project, here is some information about how I did that, and some guidance regarding how such a project could be organized and assessed.
Exemplars are available under the ‘Curriculum Songs’ tab.
Here you will find assignment, template, and assessment documents in Microsoft Word formats (older and docx), so that students and teachers can alter the documents to suit their own needs in the context of their curricula. It is possible that some schools only have access to older version of Microsoft Word, so that is why I include multiple versions.
However, recognizing that not all schools provide access to Microsoft Word, I have also included the documents in pdf format.
Enjoy the challenge of writing your own curriculum based song!
