For this unit, I will be working with Mrs.Grounds’ 1st-grade class on musical form. The
class is around 6 to 7 years old and has an even mix of genders. Through previous observations,
I’ve seen that they’re fast-paced learners and that they have a medium skill level regarding
music. This is a title 1 school mostly comprised of lower-income families. We also have 2 ESOL
students who can speak English fairly well but have a difficult time reading and writing in
English. One of these ELL learners is also an ESE student. This student has very few additional
support needs that are applicable in the music classroom; however, we do offer him a variety of
accommodations in the event that they are necessary (i.e. noise-canceling headphones, a quiet
I have chosen this topic for my Unit because I felt that musical form was the most
complex learning target for the third 9 weeks. After analyzing these students’ skills for a few
weeks, I realized that the students understood the differences between a melody and a harmony,
but that they could not identify sections in a form. The ability to analyze and discuss musical
form with correct terminology will aid these students throughout the rest of their musical careers.
This skill also allows them to practice organizational skills and problem-solving skills outside of
the music classroom. The first standard from CPALMS used in my unit is ‘MU.1.O.1.1: Respond
to contrasts in music as a foundation for understanding structure.’ This is the basic level for
understanding form. Students need to identify written and auditory patterns. I address this in my
unit with pattern-based warm-up games, patterned brain breaks, and using visual patterns to
discuss auditory patterns. The second standard used in my unit is ‘MU.1.O.1.2 - Identify patterns
of a simple, four-measure song or speech piece.’ I address this standard in our warm-up games
and in my short-form lessons on binary and ternary form. These songs are simple in structure and
include 4 - 8 measures of music. The last standard I focused on in my unit was ‘MU.1.S.2.1 -
Sing or play songs, which may include changes in verses or repeats, from memory.’ I addressed
this standard in my lessons by having students sing or respond to the melody of each piece of
music. I then asked them to tell me what the difference was between sections: i.e. higher or

Diagnostic Data
Students are able to identify and demonstrate a steady beat, whole notes, half notes,
quarter notes, and eighth notes. Students can distinguish between different pitches and tone
colors. Students know and practice basic classroom procedures with reasonable accuracy. Based
on grades from the previous semester, I can see that the students in this class excel in music.
Every child received an ‘E’ on their report card, with a class average of 98%.

choose a star musician? Well, I want to give you guys the
opportunity to get TWO STARS every time I’m
teaching.
● Ms.Greer, how do we get two stars? Well, I’m glad you
asked! You get two stars by following the music rules
and procedures for the WHOLE class. Point to our rules

○ Review the rhythms on the poster
● Fantastic! Let's go over a couple of other expectations
that will help you get 2 stars.
○ Practice how to exit the classroom.
○ Practice entering the classroom and finding

● When you come into class for the day you’ll start on
2-Star Green! If you follow all of these rules as a class,
you’ll stay on 2-Star Green. If we’re struggling with the
rules we’ll move down to a 1-Star Yellow. And if we
can’t seem to follow the rules we’ll move to 1-Star Red.

Differenciating Instruction to Meet the Needs of All Students
In this unit, I used a variety of different tools and methods to meet the needs of the
individual students. Prior to teaching these students, I received all IEPs and 504s. After
reviewing them I learned that I had one student who needed additional wait time and the ability
to move during class. I made sure to include segments throughout the lesson that allowed the
students to stand and move around the classroom. I was also able to discuss the needs of my ELL
students with their core teacher before the unit. She told me that they understood conversational
English very well, but that their reading skills were still developing. I made sure to include
written vocabulary words, visual aids, and verbal instruction for these students in the lesson. The
last thing I did in preparation for the unit was take an interest inventory survey. I used this survey
to learn what the students enjoyed about music, what they didn’t enjoy, and a personal anecdote
to help me learn their names quickly. This survey allowed me to plan lessons that kept these
I omitted the lyrics to the 2nd verse and opted to use the solfege syllables instead. I want the
students to get used to using the correct verbiage as they prepare for 2nd grade.
If I were to reteach this lesson I would take some time to fully explain what a rhyming word
is. This would allow students to be more successful in creating their B-section poems. I
would also include a brief presentation about basic poetry.
I feel that I have very little authority in my class. The students aren’t used to me yet and I am
still practicing teaching this grade level. However, I have been working on my ‘teacher
voice/look’ and I think I’ve improved.
Class: Mrs.Grounds Grade: 1 Lesson: 2
If I were to re-teach this lesson I would practice explaining the rules of the button game more
efficiently. I may even take the time to write out the rules in short and simple terms. Complex
games can be challenging for some 1st graders.
If I were to reteach today’s lesson I would include a more in-depth discussion on being good
audience members.
The students are responding well to my attention signal and reward chart. My adjustments are
becoming more efficient as well. I would like to work on my transition time for the next
lesson. I may keep my lesson plan open as a reference or have post-it notes to aid me in those
transitions.
Class: Mrs.Grounds Grade: 1 Lesson: 4
If I were to re-teach this lesson I would practice explaining the rules of using the parachute
more efficiently. I may even take the time to write out the rules in short and simple terms.
Younger students can be excitable with these sorts of activities.
After completing this unit I have a plethora of resources to teach elementary students
about musical form. I’ve been able to craft and cultivate activities to fit my teaching style and
find new ways to introduce these complex concepts. I really enjoyed using a variety of
instruments in these lessons. I also enjoyed creating warm-up games like the pattern game, or the
button game. I think that my strengths from this unit were my variety of activities, my flexibility
with students, and my critical thinking questions. Some of my weaknesses in this unit would be
using clear and concise instruction and my transition times. These areas are part of my PGP this
semester. While I have improved in these areas, I’d still like to be more consistent.
For this unit, I wanted to choose a class that presented me with some unique behavioral
challenges. This class is full of students who love music, but many of them are distractable or
excitable. Over the course of this unit, I had the chance to bond with these students and I’m
happy to report that most of the behavioral challenges we faced have been overcome. Planning
for this unit allowed me the chance to connect with these students, and I hope they continue on to
be life-long music lovers. In conclusion, I am proud of Mrs.Ground’s 1st-grade class and all of
