Summary

Can your students come up with a one-syllable word to sum up their time away from school? And then rewrite The Beatles’ song Help!?

  1. First, students will come up with a one-syllable word (like "help") to sum up their experiences away from school. They'll rewrite the intro to *Help!* using this word.
  2. Next, each student will write about their own experiences around the one-syllable word and rewrite a verse of *Help!*
  3. Then, groups will rewrite the chorus of *Help!* to be about their experiences.
  4. Finally, students can create artwork, do a photoshoot, film a music video, or even learn semaphore!
