First, Music and Language Arts
Objectives/Student Outcomes:
Students will be able to provide five examples of
body percussion.
Students will be able to identify action verbs
within sentences.
Communicate by moving expressively to music.

National Content Standards:
Understanding relationships between music, the other

Students adjust their use of spoken, written, and
visual language to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences and for
different purposes.
Management Framework:
Total length of lesson plan-35 minutes
10 min-teacher
intro into
5 min- student activity in groups
10 min-teacher demo and instruction
5 min-student activity in groups
5 min-regroup and closure
Strategies:
Teacher led discussion
Listening and responding
Procedures:
Introduction:
The teacher will introduce students to the song
“Animals on the Move”
The teacher will ask the students to sing along with
the song until most students are familiar with the lyrics.
The teacher will review action verbs and provide
examples as needed.
The teacher will provide students with a brief
overview of body percussion.
Body:
The teacher will divide the students into groups of
three.
The teacher will instruct the students in body
percussion techniques. Examples provided
to include snapping, stomping, slapping legs, clapping, and rubbing hands
together.
The teacher will ask the students to answer the
following questions:
·
What sounds can you produce using body
percussion?
·
Can you pick out the action verbs used
in the song?
·
What body percussion sounds match the
action verbs used best?
The teacher will allow the students to explore the
various forms of body percussion.
After the students have a good grasp on body
percussion, the teacher will help students indentify the action verbs used in
the song.
While remaining in small groups the teacher will
assist students in selecting the body percussion forms that will be used to
indicate the action verbs used.
The teacher will assist in the pairing of the
actions verbs with the body percussion techniques.
·
Snake slithering-rubbing hands together
·
Rabbit crossing- snapping
·
Elephant stomping- stomping
·
Bear climbing-slapping knees
·
Dog running-clapping quickly
The teacher will sing the song and “act out” the
action verbs using the body percussion techniques selected.
The students will then join the teacher in acting
out the action verbs using body percussion.
Closure:
The students will leave their small groups and the
teacher will lead the class by reviewing body percussion, action verbs, and how
they two were incorporated. The students will be
able to use different types of body percussion to indicate action verbs within
the song.
Assessment:
The teacher will assess the student’s
ability to listen to the music and respond by performing body percussion to
indicate their ability to identify the action verbs used. Teacher will switch
to a different group to assess student performance throughout the lesson.
Materials:
“Animals on the Move” - May display lyrics on the
board per preference
“Animals on the Move”
Oh no, the animals have escaped!
The snake slithered away through the grass
The bear climbed up the tree
The elephant stomped across the floor
The dog went running after him
The rabbit happily hopped across the field
Hey Guys!
I've provided the written lesson plan above as well as explained the musical component through video.But here's an informal explanation of the lesson plan I created:
I chose to include Music and Language Arts.
Body percussion-Music Action verbs-Language Arts
The objectives are for the students to be able to demonstrate body percussion by providing 5 sounds made as well as identify the action verbs used within a song.
1) Music- teach body percussion and allow students to explore by making their own sounds!
2)Language- review action verbs and have students identify them in the song
Use body percussion to indicate the action verb used within the song.
Ex: The snake slithered away through the grass. The students would rub hands together to produce the sound rather than actually saying slithered. (See video above)
*Also, I didn't include it in the video because it was more Language Arts-but to add on to identifying action verbs you could ask students to change the action verb to present, future, or past tense.
*A bonus of this lesson plan is that there are very little materials used so it can be used in many different settings regardless of financial restraints.
