Academic Language:
Learning objectives: Student learning outcomes to be achieved by
the end of the lesson or learning segment. Central focus: A
description of the important understandings and core concepts that
you want students to develop within the learning segment. Engaging
students in learning: Using instructional and motivational
strategies that promote students active involvement in learning tasks
that increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities related to specific
learning objectives.
Accommodations for Individual Differences: In order for student
success, the teacher will review rhythms and note values. The
students will demonstrate group work and will work well within a
group setting. The teacher will demonstrate proper rest, waiting and
playing position on all instruments before the activity begins.
Student Assessment: Students will be informally assessed by his or
her group work. The groups will create rhythmic melodies, and the
rhythms will show student understanding/lack of understanding of the
content.
