Artist Of The Month - Listening/Appraisal Starter

This is a powerpoint to be played whilst introducing the new artist of the month. You will need to choose a Monkees song to with it. I ask children to listen to the song and then afterwards to share with a partner what they thought about the song and why. Their partner then shares their opinion with the class. OFSTED loved this as a starter. For the rest of the month I just choose another song to listen to and compare and contrast. the kids love it and often go away and research or prepare a powerpoint for me! :0)
