Student Playlists

On the first day of class, Kate has her students fill out a Google Form about their hobbies, favorite music, and hopes for the semester in English Language Arts. This allows her to get to know them personally and demonstrate that she values their individual interests. Using their suggestions, Kate creates classroom playlists to accompany quiet moments such as reading or writing, making the environment more comfortable and familiar. It’s a simple yet meaningful way she builds community and brings student voices into the shared classroom space.
