Storytelling Elements using Music
This meditation takes the student out of the equation. There are 2 worksheets below - one for teachers to track the songs, and one for the students. The teacher then leads them into a state of relaxation. Finally, the teacher plays one minute of music from a number of different genres and has the students answer the questions at the headings. The teacher specifically does not note country / place to allow more creativity. For some students it is enough to write “Paris” while for others it is more comfortable to write “a café in Paris.”
n.b. It’s helpful to have songs without many English words or with words from a language the students don’t know so they can focus on the emotions and interpretations. Music names should not be made available to the students until after the meditation.
