Level: Grade 5 – CORDI
Type and length of lesson: Continuing Activity; 45 minutes
Topic: Rhythm - quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note in triple and quadruple meter

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
1. Create their own 4-measure rhythmic pattern using quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes in
quadruple meter.
2. Play created rhythmic pattern as an accompaniment to Lupang Hinirang.
4. Demonstrate cooperation and enthusiasm through active participation in class activities.

Materials:
Manila paper (with sample 4-beat patterns)
Whiteboard, marker
Video of Orchestra playing Lupang Hinirang
classroom percussive instruments

II. ASSESSMENT
1. Are the students able to create their own 4-measure rhythmic pattern using quarter, eighth, and
sixteenth notes with correct groupings per measure?

2. Are the students able to play created rhythmic pattern as an accompaniment to Lupang Hinirang
on a steady beat with different dynamics accurately?

3. Are the students able to demonstrate cooperation and enthusiasm through active participation
in class activities?

III. PROCEDURE
A. Motivation
1.Play Video of drum accompaniment to Lupang HInirang

B. Objective
1. Tell the students that they will now have to accompany Lupang Hinirang by forming their own
drum ensemble and making their own rhythmic patterns, but they will have to review and
practice first.
C. Prerequisite Skill (Review)
1. Understanding of basic note values (whole, half, quarter, and eighth and 16th notes)
2. Understanding of simple meters (quadruple, triple,)
3. Mastery of use of Dynamic and Tempo markings
4. Maintaining a steady beat and knowledge on how to play percussion instruments

D. Information and Examples

1. Review past lesson about Tempo markings. Ask the students if they still remember the meaning
of ritardando and accelerando
2. Ask them to clap/chant your example of a 2-measure rhythmic pattern in quadruple meter
3. Ask them to clap/chant your example of a 3-measure rhythmic pattern in quadruple meter
4. Now, test if they can properly write rhythmic patterns by chanting one measure and letting one
student write it on the board.
5. Ask the class if the written pattern is correct, if not, ask them what the correct one is. Give
three samples.
6. Write an incomplete 4-4 pattern let the students fill in the missing notes to complete the
measure. Let the students chant the rhythm afterwards

E. Practice and Feedback

1. After this, group the students and let them compose their own drum beats to Lupang Hinirang by
writing their own rhythmic pattern. Divide the students into 4 groups and assign one line (four
bars) of the song to each group.
Group 1 – Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan
Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo’y buhay
Group 2 – Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, ‘di ka pasisiil
Group 3 – Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw
May dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal
Group 4 – Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y tagumpay na nagniningning
Ang bituin at araw niya kailanpama’y ‘di magdidilim
Group 5 – Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo

(Everyone claps to given patterns by teacher)

Aming ligaya na ‘pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa’yo.

7. Each group will create their own rhythmic pattern, four measures in quadruple meter.
8. Let the students present their works.
9. Sing Lupang Hinirang altogether while they accompany it with their rhythmic patterns using
percussive instruments
 2. Debrief:
a. Have the students assess their composition
b. Ask the students how they feel about using syllables in learning the note values and about
performing their own rhythmic compositions

F. Summary
1. Comment good points and things to improve on the performance of the students.

IV. EVALUATION
Rhythmic accuracy – 10 points
Group performance – 10 points
Class participation – 10 points
Total: 30 points

V. Anecdotal Record:
1. The class was amazed with the drum-ensemble video that they were excited to know what
activity they will do in class today.
2. They improved on writing down rhythmic patterns in quadruple and triple meter.
3. They seem to be rowdy and noisy during discussions but when we started the activity, I was
surprised to see that they understood the concepts well.
4.There were students who stepped-up and acted as leaders in each of the groups that’s why they
were all able to finish the activity.
5. The class enjoyed playing their rhythmic accompaniment to Lupang Hinirang using classroom
instruments.

Self-Evaluation:
1. I am getting more relaxed with the class so the session is getting more and more smoother.
2. I was able to think more quickly and adjust my lesson plan as needed.
3. I should think of more creative ways to measure if they really understood the lesson.
