Teachers may not wish to record the result of each listening test. Although each of the active listening activities are provided so that a mark out of 20 can be awarded, they are designed as learning tools to promote engagement during the listening process. If teachers wish to add viewing as part of the process this can of course be included but it is advised to be aware of the film rating. It is important to note that the lessons are designed so that the films do not have to be watched. Some of the films included in this text book have ratings that may not suit the age of the students. Teachers may choose to spend more time on certain lessons and omit others from their teaching and learning program. The films can be taught in any order and have not been designed to be sequential. Each of the films have been organised into genres however it is important for teachers to choose the sequence that they would like to teach them in. These lessons have not been designed to be ‘about’ the films, but use the music from the films to enable students to learn about the music elements. The activities focus on: Performance, Listening and Composition however each film comes with a brief synopsis and additional information about instrumentation and people of interest. These lessons for use in the middle-school classroom are designed to be fun, engaging and to promote musical literacy.
