The "Soundtrack of My Life" assignment is the first written assignment that I give to my students. This activity entails: insightful thought, self reflection, three major events or experiences from their life, and connecting song lyrics that relate to the emotions students have felt or now feel regarding their past experiences. Students write about how each event has shaped them into the individual they are today and then execute an oral presentation in which they share their "Soundtrack." Students practice oral presentation skills in the following six categories: Eye contact, voice, rate, poise, content, and delivery. This assignment creates a warm, accepting, and welcoming environment and allows me to learn about my students and their interests, goals, and expectations for this school year!
