Through this Arts Ed lesson the students will be using bells to
create the tunes to some popular Nursery Rhyme songs. Each bell will
be a shape in lue of a musical note. On chart-board the song will
be written out in shapes rather than musical notes, and the students
will need to press the bell when I point to their shape. |

6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. Start off by taking out the bells and showing them to the students
Talk about how we have to be really careful with instruments because
they can break easy. Pass one bell around and have the students get
a feel for it. Allow them to press the bell.
2. Ask the students if they ever heard a song being played on bells
before?
3. Explain to the students that in a moment they are going to learn
how to play some Nursery Rhyme songs using bells. |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Show the children the chart paper with all the different shapes
on it.
2. Explain to them that each bell has a shape on it as well. The shape
on the bell matches with the shape on the chart. |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Show the students the example chart with three shapes. Have three
students volunteer to help out.
2. Once they successfully shown that they understand the concept,
flip to "twinkle twinkle little star" and pass out for bells to the
students. Have them follow along with the chart paper and pointer.
3. Continue this process with other students and other Nursery Rhyme
songs. |

D. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
Those who do not have bells will have an envelope. 2. I will be
using my judgment to decide how many songs we will be doing. If they
get too restless, we will do the others the next day. |
|
|
E. Checking for understanding-
1. During the lesson I will have my IA check for understanding,
by completing a check list of who successfully was able to complete
the task
2. I will also be watching to see who holds up the correct pictures
when I'm playing the piano, and making notes accordingly. |
|
|
F. Closure-
1. As a closure I will play four songs on the piano and have the
children guess which Nursery Rhyme it is.
2. I have an envelope for each child with four different pictures
in it. When they recognize the song I'm playing the need to hold up
the correct picture. For example: A start will represent "Twinkle
Twinkle Little Star" |
