Lesson Objectives

The Student will be able to identify instrument families and their perspective instruments with 80% accuracy.
How will I vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material? How will I vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept? How will I vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English

Varying Objectives for Individuals Needs

For students who do not demonstrate proficiency after my informal assessment, they will receive extra help during group activities. I will review the families and see what information they know to build on what I need to do as the teacher. For students who do not speak English, I will find examples for them and also provide then with the proper translations.

Part II: IMPLEMENTATION

How will I find out what students already know about this topic?

Pre-assessment

At the beginning of the lesson I will do an informal verbal assessment. Mentally I will be taking notes to better understand and identify what needs to be better explained.
What will I do to make a connection between students and this lesson?

I will use the analogy of the family in real life. by showing how cousins, aunts, and family members fit into the family through relationship.
What will I say to explain the importance of learning this lesson?

Statement of Purpose

Know musical families and instruments are very important. It is important that even people who do not play instruments know the process. This is important to know whether or not you continue in music and become a musician. This lesson is to give a brief wash of these concepts so that students can be better prepared for more advanced music classes.

Guided Practice

We will see and understand how teach instrument family works and how they fit in to the families. I will work with the students to check for understanding.
What will I ask to know if students understand so far? List questions. What will I do throughout the lesson to determine if students understand the information? List activities/techniques or describe the strategies that you plan to use.

Checking for Understanding

I will perform informal assessments throughout the lesson. The questions will be comprised of lesson items and I will use fill in the blank, short answer, and worksheet activities to check for understanding.
What will students do to internalize the knowledge? They will be provided with a homework sheet. They will have to find specific internet examples of music in specific time/key signatures and find notes on the staff. What will students do to demonstrate what they learned during the lesson? If an assessment is used, attach a copy. If using an authentic assessment, attach a copy of the scoring rubric.

Independent Practice

Assessment

Formal Test This is not an authentic assessment. This is an assessment that my teacher made. I was required to make a make-up test for the class.

N/A
PART III IMPLEMENTATION
What worked for you during the lesson? What did not work? What changes would you make when you teach this lesson again to make it more effective?

Reflections

The lesson seemed to go very well. The students were interested and they listened and took notes attentively. They also asked questions. I do not think that the seating arrangement worked. I had to accommodate for time while teaching this lesson. I also had to watch for interest and know when to switch activities during the lesson.
