  • Project
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

Here is an exciting way to get small groups teaching each other about different fuels that are used for transportation; have them write a song about a fuel type and sing it for the class! Each group must write a three-line, informative introduction to their performance, as well as some pertinent interview questions to follow it. A page of guidelines is provided for your class as well as a sample completed assignment for each type of fuel. Consider designing a note-taking handout for the studio audience to record what they learn from each performance.
