Topic: | Rhythms |
Content: | Types of Notes |
Goals: | NETS-S covered in the lesson are (1)Communication and Colaboration and(2)Creativity and Innovation. |
Objectives: | This assignment is intended for 3rd graders, and aims to teach the students the values of different notes, and their function within the measures. |
Materials: | paper, pencil, music writing software(sibelius) |
Introduction: | This lesson will help students understand different note values, and realize their place within a measure, and ultimately a rhythmic phrase. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to use their knowledge to create their own four measure rhythmic phrase. |
Development: | I will start by explaining what notes are, and show their value in relation to other notes. This will be presented in a manner that the students will be able to clearly map out different notes values on their own. |
Practice: | I will write a few notes on the board, then ask the students to write the equivalent of that note using other notes. |
Accommodations: | After the students complete the group work, I will ask one student from each group to write their rhythmic phrase on the board. As a class, we will then clap the rhythms in unison. |
Checking For Understanding: | The students will then be required to create three rhythmic examples for homework. |
Closure: | This lesson will proposedly help students understand the values of basic rhythms, and how to apply them to a real musical setting. |
Evaluation: | 1. Answering questions on overhead 2. Group work 3. Homework |
Teacher Reflections: | After everything is graded, I will evaluate the success of the lesson. |
