Songwriter's Club
Grade 1, ELA & Reading
Description of Unit
In this task, students will study songs and explore song lyrics as storytelling devices. Students will research the songwriting process and songwriters. Students will examine how songs communicate content and emotions. Their learning will culminate in the composition and presentation of original song lyrics that tell a story about their own life.
This guide links the Songwriter’s Club unit to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for first graders. Songwriter’s Club is an English language arts and reading (ELAR) unit that allows students to analyze and create song lyrics. Songwriter’s Club also has interdisciplinary connections to fine arts and social studies disciplines. For example, students will listen to songs to identify language and narrative patterns as outlined in the English Language Arts and Reading TEKS, explore foundational music concepts such as song structure, tone, and rhythm, and learn about events or characters in history and literature as portrayed in songs. The following document includes the applicable TEKS and the details of the Songwriter’s Club unit. The final section of this document presents the applicable Texas College and Career Readiness Standards adopted by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on January 24, 2008.
Descripción de la unidad
En esta tarea, los estudiantes estudiarán canciones y explorarán letras de canciones como medios para contar historias. Los estudiantes investigarán el proceso para componer canciones y a los compositores. Los estudiantes examinarán cómo las canciones comunican contenido y emociones. Su aprendizaje culminará con la composición y presentación de la letra original de una canción que cuente una historia acerca de su propia vida.
Esta guía conecta la unidad Club de compositores con los Conocimientos y destrezas esenciales de Texas (TEKS) para los estudiantes de primer grado. La unidad Club de compositores es una unidad de artes del lenguaje y lectura en inglés que permite a los estudiantes analizar y escribir la letra de una canción. La unidad también tiene conexiones interdisciplinarias con las disciplinas de Bellas Artes y Estudios Sociales. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes escucharán canciones para identificar patrones del lenguaje y la narrativa como lo indican los TEKS de Artes del lenguaje y Lectura en inglés, explorarán conceptos fundamentales de música como estructura de la canción, tono y ritmo y aprenderán acerca de eventos o personajes de la historia y la literatura presentados en las canciones. El siguiente documento incluye los TEKS correspondientes y los detalles de la unidad Club de compositores. La última sección de este documento presenta los Estándares de Preparación para la Universidad, Carreras Técnicas y el Mundo Laboral de Texas correspondientes (Texas College and Career Readiness Standards) adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Coordinadora de la Educación Superior en Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board -THECB) el 24 de enero de 2008.
Phase I. Learning Experiences
- Read several nursery rhymes and Mother Goose stories. Ask students what they can say about the selections you have read. What is the same about them? What is different about them? What are they used for?
- Print out the lyrics of several nursery rhymes. Have students circle the word or words that are the same, put squares around words that start with the same sound, and draw arrows between words that rhyme. Demonstrate first on a projector, and then let student groups work on 1‐2 additional examples.
- Create a class name song. Choose a simple, familiar song, such as "If You Are Happy and You Know It." Have students clap the rhythm. Use a computer keyboard to play the tune, and work with the class to find a way to name every student in the class, using the song tune. (“If you are Amy and you know it, clap your hands.”) This can be made fun with each student identifying their own motion, such as stomp feet, wiggle ears, or make their own funny face with “then your face is gonna show it.” Or you can work on another type of song such as "The 12 Rules of Playtime" as appropriate to the class.
- Play the "Frog Went A‐Courting" song. Ask students what they noticed about the song (e.g., repetition, rhyming). Listen to the song again, and lead the students in clapping the rhythm.
- Assign different songs for analysis to groups of 2–3 students. Include historical and traditional songs that tell a longer, more complex story. Examples include “The Ballad of Davy Crockett,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “Puff the Magic Dragon,” and “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again.” Students should listen to the song several times, and then tell the class what the song is about and why they think so. Pass out the lyrics to the class, and then play the song for the class having the children follow along. Point out the parts of the song (e.g., verse, refrain, chorus), and have students identify the patterns/structures (e.g., verse, chorus, verse). Teach the children the chorus to several of the songs and have them sing along.
- Present a lesson on the writing of "The Star‐Spangled Banner" with images and content about the battle, the poem, and the author.
- Have students identify and find out about a song that they like that tells a story. They can either present or sing about it to the class.
- Have students select their favorite song and provide the lyrics to the song. Students are to summarize and explain what the song is about. Students then are to list at least three images in the song. Students are to determine why the song is popular.
- Students will list their favorite songs. Then the class will determine the top 10. Students will develop criteria for songs to be in the top 10. The students then create a survey for other students to list their top 10 or name their favorites.
Phase II. Independent Research
A. Research process
- Selecting a topic for a student story. Stories can be about an important event or person in the student’s life, a biographical story, or a dream or wish for the future.
- Composing a story. Students should draft and polish a story that will serve as the basis for song lyrics. It should include a beginning, middle, and end, and use standard literary conventions as appropriate for the age group.
- Drawing the story in pictures. Students should draw pictures from the story in frames that present a narrative sequence.
- Identifying key words. Students should identify the main characters and ideas of the story and write a list of key words. For each of the key story words, students should identify as many rhyming words as possible.
- Choosing a song to set the lyrics to. Students should sample a range of songs that might be appropriate for telling their story. Their choice should convey the mood of the story if possible.
- Creating a research proposal for finding out more about the original song the new song will be based on. The student’s research should include the original lyrics, in what context the student encountered the song originally, where it came from or what tradition it is linked to, and how it used today.
- Writing song lyrics. Write a set of lyrics loosely based on the student’s story set to the chosen tune.
- Presenting original lyrics. Practice and present the student’s song to the class using either a recording or a live performance, with lyrics provided to the class.
- Responding to student presentations. Students write a brief paragraph about each student’s song identifying what it was about and how it made them feel, then submit the paragraph to the performer.
B. The product
Each student develops a story and an original set of song lyrics loosely based on that story.
C. Communication
Each student presents the song to the class, and other students provide a written response to each performance.
D. A completed project consists of

- a list of key story words and rhymes;
- research on an original song; and
- original lyrics set to the song.
Fase I. Experiencias de aprendizaje
- Lea varias rimas infantiles e historias de mamá ganso. Pregunte a los estudiantes qué pueden decir acerca de los pasajes que les leyó. ¿Qué tienen en común? ¿Qué diferencias tienen? ¿Para qué se usan?
- Imprima la letra de varias rimas infantiles. Pida a los estudiantes que encierren en un círculo la palabra o palabras que se repitan, encierren en un cuadro las palabras que comienzan con el mismo sonido y unan con flechas las palabras que riman. Primero, con el proyector demuestre cómo hacer la actividad y luego permita que los grupos de estudiantes trabajen con 1 o 2 ejemplos más.
- Hagan una canción con los nombres de los estudiantes de la clase. Escojan una canción conocida sencilla como If You Are Happy and You Know It (Si estás feliz y lo sabes aplaude así). Pida a los estudiantes que aplaudan con el ritmo. Use un teclado de computadora para tocar la melodía y trabaje con la clase para encontrar una manera de cantar el nombre de cada estudiante de la clase siguiendo la melodía de la canción. [“Si eres Mari y lo sabes aplaude así…”.] Esto puede hacerse más divertido si cada estudiante identifica su propio movimiento o gesticulación, como pisa fuerte o mueve las orejas, o su propio gesto divertido como “hazle como un oso”, “hazle como un gato”, etc. O pueden trabajar con otro tipo de canción como Un elefante se balanceaba, Estrellita dónde estás, etc. según sea apropiado para la clase.
- Toque la canción Frog Went A-Courting. Pregunte a los estudiantes qué notan acerca de la canción [repetición, rimas]. Escuchen nuevamente la canción y guíe a los estudiantes para que aplaudan siguiendo el ritmo.
- Asigne a grupos de 2 a 3 estudiantes diferentes canciones para que las analicen. Incluya canciones históricas y tradicionales que cuenten una historia más larga y compleja. Los ejemplos incluyen: the Ballad of Davy Crockett, Frosty the Snowman, Puff the Magic Dragon, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again.
Los estudiantes deben escuchar la canción varias veces, y luego decir a la clase de qué se trata la canción y por qué lo creen así. Distribuya la letra a la clase, luego toque la canción para la clase y pida a los niños que la sigan. Indique las partes de la canción: verso, estribillo, coro, y pida a los estudiantes que identifiquen los patrones/las estructuras (p. ej., verso, coro, estrofas). Enseñe a los niños el coro de varias de las canciones y pídales que canten al unísono. - Presente una lección acerca de la composición del Star-Spangled Banner con imágenes y contenido acerca de la batalla, el poema y el autor.
- Pida a los estudiantes que identifiquen una canción que les guste que cuente una historia y que
encuentren todo lo posible acerca de ella para presentarla o cantarla ante la clase. - Pida a los estudiantes que seleccionen su canción favorita y provean la letra de la canción. Los estudiantes deben resumir y explicar de qué trata la canción. Luego, los estudiantes deben escribir una lista de por lo menos tres imágenes que hay en la canción. Los estudiantes deben determinar por qué la canción es una canción popular.
- Los estudiantes escribirán una lista de sus canciones favoritas. Luego, la clase determinará las mejores diez. Los estudiantes desarrollarán criterios para elegir las diez mejores canciones. Luego, los estudiantes elaborarán una encuesta para que los otros estudiantes señalen sus diez mejores canciones o sus canciones favoritas.
Fase II. Investigación independiente
A. Proceso de investigación
- Seleccionando un tema para la historia del estudiante. Las historias pueden tratar acerca de un evento o persona importante en la vida del estudiante, una historia biográfica, o un sueño o deseo para el futuro.
- Componiendo acerca de una historia. Los estudiantes deben hacer un borrador y perfeccionar una historia que servirá como la base para la letra de la canción. Debe incluir un inicio, parte media y final, y usar las reglas literarias estándar apropiadas para la edad del grupo.
- Dibujando imágenes de la historia. Los estudiantes deben hacer dibujos de la historia en cuadros que presenten una secuencia narrativa.
- Identificando palabras clave. Los estudiantes deben identificar los personajes y las ideas principales de la historia y escribir una lista de las palabras clave. Para cada una de las palabras clave de la historia, los estudiantes deben identificar todas las palabras con rima posibles.
- Escogiendo una canción para ponerle letra. Los estudiantes deben tener varias canciones como muestra que pudieran ser apropiadas para contar su historia. De ser posible, su elección debe trasmitir el ánimo de la historia.
- Crear una propuesta de investigación para saber más acerca de la canción original sobre la cual se basará la canción nueva. La investigación del estudiante debe incluir la letra original, en qué contexto el estudiante encontró originalmente la canción, de dónde proviene la canción o a qué tradición pertenece y cómo se utiliza actualmente.
- Componiendo la letra de una canción. Escriban libremente un conjunto de letras basadas en su historia, ajustando las letras a la melodía seleccionada.
- Presentando la letra original. Practiquen y presenten a la clase las canciones de los estudiantes usando una grabación o ejecuciones en vivo, proveyendo la letra a la clase.
- Respondiendo a las presentaciones de los estudiantes. Cada estudiante escribe un párrafo corto acerca de cada una de las canciones de los otros estudiantes, identificando de qué trata y cómo le hizo sentir, y entrega el escrito al estudiante que presentó su canción.

The product
Each student develops a story and an original set of song lyrics loosely based on that story.
Communication
Each student presents the song to the class, and other students provide a written response to each performance.
Evaluate
Use the TPSP Primary Rubric to assess each student’s learning. Additionally, you may wish to develop self‐ or peer‐assessments based on the rubric that students could use to evaluate their products.
A completed project consists of
- a draft and final personal story, including picture narrative;
- a list of key story words and rhymes;
- research on an original song; and
- original lyrics set to the song.
In what ways did the student
- develop sophisticated, open‐ended questions about the self‐selected topic;
- use a variety of sources that access advanced content and include multiple perspectives;
- collect data using the tools of the discipline;
- analyze and interpret the data;
- capture and apply their analysis through an original product; and
- communicate his/her research findings, learning, and ideas to an audience using the language of the discipline.
Extend
Songwriter’s Club links skills in storytelling with literary devices commonly used in songwriting (e.g., rhyme and repetition). Students engage with the parts of a story and compose their own story and subsequent song lyrics with beginning, middle, and end. Communication skills such as developing a narrative and presenting ideas orally can be extended into other disciplines.
Social Studies
Students will list their favorite songs. Then the class will determine the top 10. Students will develop criteria for songs to be in the top 10. The students then create a survey for other students to list their top 10 or name their favorites. Compare these lists with the popular Billboard charts. With the help of the teacher or a librarian, identify popular songs from the past and analyze how these songs relate to their criteria for what makes a “good” song. What predictions might students make about how the song would be received by today’s listeners? Would people still be willing to pay for the song? Why or why not?
Science
Create a song that tells a story about the various states of water (e.g., melting, freezing, evaporating). Define a beginning, middle, and end to the story. What actions occur in the story, and what roles do natural organisms, systems, and forces play in the narrative?
Mathematics
Research five of the most popular songs today by comparing both Billboard chart listings for popular songs on the radio and also surveying your peers, family, and community members. How many of the songs that are popular on the radio also rank highly with your survey participants? How popular is your personal favorite song? Which songs are popular with your survey respondents but rank lower on the Billboard charts? What do your findings indicate is the most popular song today? What predictions might you make for how long the song will remain popular? Create a graph that shows how the song’s popularity compares across each of the groups you surveyed (e.g., peers, family, and community members). Also, make a bar graph that compares your survey responses for each of the top five songs.
If you were a recording executive and were releasing the top song for download (i.e., through iTunes), how much would you charge consumers to download the song? What are the current prices for purchasing the song? Based on your research regarding the song’s popularity, what might be your prediction for how much money the song is earning in Internet sales? Make a poster illustrating your findings.
Additional Resources
Students are encouraged to work with their teachers and parents/guardians to conduct the research necessary to support and enhance each task, following local district guidelines. Online resources like The Smithsonian Museum, The Library of Congress, The Texas State Archives, Texas State Historical Association, and National Geographic’s Kids offer information on a variety of topics and could serve as a good starting place.

Evaluar
Use la rúbrica de primaria TPSP para evaluar el conocimiento de cada estudiante. Además, puede decidir entre desarrollar auto-evaluaciones o evaluaciones hechas por los compañeros, con base en la rúbrica que los estudiantes podrían usar para evaluar sus productos.
Un proyecto completo consiste de:
- un borrador y una versión final de la historia personal, incluyendo la narrativa con imágenes
- lista de palabras clave de la historia y las rimas
- investigación sobre la canción original
- letra original ajustada a la canción
De qué maneras el estudiante:
- desarrolló preguntas abiertas sofisticadas acerca del tema de su propia selección;
- usó una variedad de recursos que brindaran contenido avanzado e incluyó múltiples perspectivas;
- reunió datos usando las herramientas de la disciplina;
- analizó e interpretó los datos;
- capturó y aplicó su análisis mediante un producto original, y comunicó sus hallazgos, aprendizaje e ideas a una audiencia usando el lenguaje de la disciplina
Extender
La unidad Club de compositores relaciona las destrezas para contar historias con los recursos literarios usados comúnmente en la composición de canciones (p. ej., rima y repetición). Los estudiantes se involucran con las partes de una historia y componen su propia historia y subsecuente letra de una canción con un inicio, una parte media y un final. Las destrezas de comunicación, como desarrollar una narrativa y presentar ideas de manera oral, pueden extenderse a otras disciplinas.
Estudios Sociales
Los estudiantes escribirán una lista de sus canciones favoritas. Luego, la clase determinará las mejores diez. Los estudiantes desarrollarán criterios para elegir las diez mejores canciones. Luego, elaborarán una encuesta para que los otros estudiantes señalen sus diez mejores canciones o sus canciones favoritas. Comparen esas listas con las listas Billboard de popularidad. Con la ayuda del maestro o de un bibliotecario, identifican canciones populares del pasado y analizan cómo esas canciones se relacionan con sus criterios para considerar que una canción es “una buena canción”. ¿Qué predicciones pueden hacer los estudiantes acerca de cómo sería recibida la canción por las audiencias actuales? ¿Las personas de hoy estarían dispuestas a pagar por la canción? ¿Por qué sí o por qué no?
Ciencias
Los estudiantes crean una canción que cuente una historia acerca de los distintos estados del agua (p. ej., derretida, congelada, evaporada). Definen un inicio, una parte media y un final para la historia. ¿Qué acciones ocurren en la historia y qué papeles juegan los organismos, sistemas y fuerzas de la naturaleza en la narrativa?
Matemáticas
Los estudiantes investigan cinco de las canciones más populares actualmente comparando las listas Billboard de popularidad de las canciones en la radio y también encuestando a sus compañeros, familiares y miembros de la comunidad. ¿Cuántas de las canciones que son populares en la radio también ocupan los primeros lugares entre quienes participaron en tu encuesta? ¿Qué tan popular es tu canción favorita? ¿Cuáles canciones son populares entre quienes respondieron a tu encuesta, pero ocupan lugares más bajos en las listas Billboard? ¿Cuál es la canción más popular actualmente según tus hallazgos? ¿Qué predicciones podrías hacer acerca del tiempo que la canción seguirá siendo popular? Crea una gráfica que muestre la popularidad de la canción en comparación con cada uno de los grupos que encuestaste (p. ej., compañeros, familia y miembros de la comunidad). También haz una gráfica de barras para comparar las respuestas a tu encuesta para cada una de las cinco mejores canciones.
Si fueras un directivo de una compañía discográfica y estuvieran lanzando la mejor canción para que sea descargada (p. ej., en iTunes), ¿cuánto cobrarías a los consumidores por descargar la canción? ¿Cuál es el precio de una canción actualmente? Con base en tu investigación acerca de la popularidad de las canciones, ¿cuál es tu predicción sobre cuánto dinero genera la canción por las ventas en Internet? Elabora un póster que ilustre tus hallazgos.
