Final Project - Model Lesson

Lesson Plan Format: Standard Longwood format.

Be sure to have a copy of the lesson plan and all print materials available for the instructor.

Length: 15-20 minutes - We will stop you at 20 minutes.

Focus of each lesson:

Lesson I - Interdisciplinary or Cross Disciplinary

Must include at least two disciplines (One must be music)
          You may want to discuss these with the class after your presentation.
May be at any grade level

Lesson II - Multiple Intelligence

Must include at least four frames of intelligence (One must be music.)
          You may want to discuss these with the class after your presentation.
My be at any grade level

Content: The content of your two lessons may be related (that is, the second one a continuation of the first), but please be sure that they are two distinctly different lessons -- with different techniques and methodology and different musical examples.

The Lesson:

Let the following considerations guide your preparation for the lesson.

Plan
    goals clearly stated
    goals appropriate to the grade level
    activities that support the goal
    activities in a logical, appropriate sequence

Music
    choice of appropriate musical material
    presentation of the song
    good singing
    practice to insure student learning

Communication  –  clearly and easily understood

Transitions, coordination and compatibility of the two (or more) subjects

Materials and equipment – availability and usability

Be sure that you plan a lesson in which you, the teacher, are actively engaged in the learning that is taking place. For example, do not ask your instructor to "watch" you "watching the class" do a worksheet.

Process:

The rest of the class will serve as your students at whatever grade level you assign to them.
Be sure you have all materials ready to go before you start the lesson.
Bring photocopies or posters of any text/song that will need to be read.

Have Fun!!!!
