What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This lesson on Nina Simone was engaging and fun, it started out with facts about the artist, we listened to a song, reviewed vocabulary for body parts (relevant to the song) and the students filled out a cloze worksheet with the song lyrics using the vocab words. The lesson finished up with a rhythmic repeat of the lyrics which was very fun and everyone participated and gained good rhythm. Also, between the three of us, we managed to clean up and organize the box too, which is nice because it was terrifying.
