I love Educational Musicals, and have used several in the classroom from assembly use, classroom lesson and right upto full blown school production. They are an excellent resource, which link well to all sorts of topics, all well researched. I have used them in creative ways from art projects to extended writing sessions, all going onto perform and display their work.
Besides this, the songs are catchy and provide a good range of styles. Lots of strong female characters and most importantly, they're great fun!
I'm loving the idea of the 'read a plays' I can see that being used in Guided Reading very soon!
