Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Include the video as part of a student project that has them study the impact of music on their own lives and in the lives of others. Help students establish a survey to gather data and use the video as an introduction to learning if their survey results reflect or differ with the expert’s analysis in the video. Or conduct the survey without seeing the video and have students hypothesize how they think their results might be interpreted by others and if they agree with generally accepted principles or not. View the video as part of the concluding conversation about what’s been learned.
*Profile videos use a first-person/first-hand approach to highlight interesting people doing interesting things in the area of study.
