Britany G. I was an intern last year. I didn't always have the time to look at the files of other teachers at 10pm at night. LessonPlanet saved me so many times I've lost count. I would look all over other websites for quality lesson plans and, no surprise, I always ended up here.

Creating an Original Opera

This may be a lot to ask of a high schooler, but then again, who knows? Pupils work in groups to explore, write, and then perform an original opera. They view versions of The Magic Flute and La Traviata, then compose a plot, characters, script, and music which will become their original opera. Now this is what I call creative problem solving!

A great source of nonfiction reading material, this resource consists of a series of five short reading passages about modern music, composition principles, and various composers. Accompanying each reading is a different activity for learners to complete. Ranging from matching and basic recall questions to longer, more open-ended writing prompts, this resource is a great tool for getting everyone to practice reading comprehension skills as well as engage in critical thinking.
