D. New Lesson.
1. Motivation.
Have you ever got to visit a farm?
What animals have you seen?
Do they always make noises?

2. Presentation.
A visit to an authentic farm is a unique and special experience. Children will be able
to see different kinds of animal, hear their sounds and play with them. Today, we will
be singing about animals on the farm. Be able to tell me later, what kind of animals,
and sounds are there in the song.

3. Teaching the song by Rote method.

a. The teacher first sings the song.

Lyrics.
Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O.
And on that farm he had a pig. E-I-E-I-O.
With an oink oink here.
And an oink oink there.
Here an oink.
 There an oink.
Everywhere an oink oink.
Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O.
Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O.
And on that farm he had a duck. E-I-E-I-O.
With a quack quack here.
And a quack quack there.
And an oink oink here.
And an oink oink there.
Old MacDonald had a farm. E-I-E-I-O

b. In a brief conversation, the teacher brings out questions or explain any unfamiliar
words based on the song.

● According to the song, what animals are in the farm?

● Can you tell me what sounds do the pig and duck makes?
● Who owns the farm?

c. Teacher sings the first line of the song, clearly and distinctly. Then, children repeat.

d. The second line may be taught in the same manner. This accomplished, the
teacher will join the first two phrases, and have the children do likewise. She will then
present the third line and fourth line in the same manner, and join these, too.

e. Next step is again to sing the entire stanza. These may be sung and memorized
on succeeding days.

f. Use hands to “map” melody when singing, which gives children a visual reference
that indicates whether their voices should be high or low.

4. Application:
Let us sing the song, “Old MacDonald had a farm” once again. This time, while you
perform the following for each measure of the song, you will be singing it.

a. Stamp your foot. (Old MacDonald had a farm.)

b. Clap your hands. (E-I-E-I-O.)
c. Wave your hands. ( And on the farm he had a pig.)
 d. Clap your hands. (E-I-E-I-O.)
e. Swing your hips. ( With an oink oink here, and an oink oink there.)
f. Shake your hands. (Here an oink, there an oink.)
g. Snap your fingers. (Everywhere an oink.)
h. Stamp your foot. (Old MacDonald had a farm.)
i. Clap your hands. (E-I-E-I-O.)

IV. Evaluation:

Practical test – Group yourselves into five. Create your own dance steps for the
song. Perform it later with your groups. I will give you 20 minutes to finish everything.
