7 Habits in Music Class

We are incorporating the 7 Habits in the form of "missions." While playing the song, Mission Impossible, one selected student searches for the envelope marked TOP SECRET. Once the envelope is found, we read the mission and complete it as a class.

So far, we have had a proactive brainstorming mission, a begin with end in mind puzzle, and a put first things first matching game. Ask your students about these missions!
