• Have them stand up and pick a student to be the leader that student will move to the outside of the circle
• The teacher will have the students inside bounce their knees to go with the steady beat
• The student that is outside the circle will go around and trap the students on the head with the steady beat when they get to the end of the song they will stop on the person that is out and switch places
• Continue until each student gets a turn
• While this is happening the teacher will start clapping the notes out
• Then have the move into smaller groups(3-4 students)
• Take the post-it notes and see if they can pick out the rhythm of the song by starting line by line

Your national standards statement is missing. And for assessment, I think you meant to say "were" the students able to find the steady beat? Correct it. Also, try to word the assessment points in the way I put down on the green sample lesson sheet: visually check, verbally check, aurally check...
ReplyDeleteI have difficult time following these steps:
Have them stand up and pick a student to be the leader that student will move to the outside of the circle
• The teacher will have the students inside bounce their knees to go with the steady beat
• The student that is outside the circle will go around and trap the students on the head with the steady beat when they get to the end of the song they will stop on the person that is out and switch places
Would you please read them through and see if you can make them easier to read?
Other than these, your plan looks good!
