The Sound of Numbers K-2

Description

Using rhythmical experiences in music, the students will explore numbers and their relationships. Every aspect of music can be described mathematically. An understanding of patterns, the ability to develop operations, reveal functions, and being able to move toward higher levels of abstractions, can be strengthened through parallel music study. Dividing beats and meters: patterns; and starting the same patterns at different times to create canons: developing operations will be explored in this lesson.

This Land is My Land, This Land is Your Land 3

Description

Students will assume characters in a class drama centered around preserving the environment. Students will step into role as different living things that inhabit a forest. Students will then participate in a role drama where they improvise dialogue and analyze environmental concepts. In the class drama, the teacher steps into role as a greedy developer and announces that he intends to take down the forest and build a factory. Students in turn defend their habitat and attempt to persuade the developer to leave their home as it is. Through persuasive writing and role-playing students explore their own understanding of the environment.

Using Drama to Explore Story Elements 1

Description

Students will use drama to explore the story elements of the text, The Tortoise and the Hare. This will be achieved through tableau, pantomime and story-telling during a read-aloud of the text. The strategy: Teacher-In-Role will be used to analyze the main character of the story. This role-playing exercise will aid in students’ articulation of the story’s problem and solution. Students will give the main character advice after carefully considering his problem. Students will then practice retelling the story including all of the critical major events in the retell.
