Activity #3- "Shake my sillies Out"
Description of Assignment
This activity is where I was going to teach the students the song, "Shake my sillies out" but they already ended up knowing the tune. But there was still more left to teach in the lesson. For example, three more verses, which I demonstrated each one for them before having them sing it back to me by themselves. Also, there were correlating movements to each new verse which I demonstrated to them while singing the song. These demonstrations gave the students a good understanding of what I was asking them to do. This fulfills the criteria of Accomplished Practice #11 by:
- Models appropriate behavior as teacher and musician
- Considers instruction in music as part of the larger educational effort of the school
- Uses specific directions at appropriate times
- Serves as a guide to students developing musical understandings and skills
Artistic Processes/Medium
Performance: Singing and Movement
Rationale
This activity shows that I was a great model for the children and I helped guide them appropriately through their activity. With the use of specific directions at the appropriate times I was able to have students accomplish this lesson effectively.
