Title - Students act as TV reporters and interview their favorite composer
By - Katrina Grbesic
Primary Subject - Music
Secondary Subjects - Language Arts
Grade Level - 5-6
Materials needed: Biographies and music of several composers, video camera (optional) art supplies to help children create microphones and costumes of the composer.

Lesson: Have groups of students choose a composer to study. Provide biographies for the children to study and pieces of music for the children to listen to. Have them gather pertinent information about important pieces their composer composed, when they were born, where they lived, etc. Write your own script and demonstrate so the students can model. Give them time to create scripts and rehearse. Make sure the children incorporate a section of the music from their composer. They can include the music just like a Hollywood star and talk show host watch a piece of their upcoming films and then discuss it afterwards. Students become very creative and you could have a production crew and camera crew to make it really interesting. Videotape the students and watch it later. Ask them to write a little paragraph explaining the whole process and what they learned from it.
