Create a Music Playlist for a Character or Create a Soundtrack - Book Report or Novel Study

This is one of my new favourite activities, because it really gets students thinking, and it has them referencing the script as well as using their own knowledge and preferences.  In the version of the assignment below, the students were asked to select 10 songs (you can of course adjust this number) and for each song they had to provide the title, artist, mood of the song, reference the act and scene the character would listen to it with a page number, and defend why the song is a good choice for that character at that point in the play/novel.
