The document provides a lesson plan to teach fourth and fifth grade students about rounds and canons through movement. The teacher will first lead students in tapping their head, shoulders, knees, and toes in a round, explaining the concept of a round. Students will then split into small groups to create their own short movement canons. The lesson aims to generate musical ideas through physical activity while meeting national standards around conceptualizing, organizing, and refining musical work.

Objective: Students will learn what a round or canon is through movement.
Grade: Fourth/fifth grade National Core Standards: #1 Generate and conceptualize music ideas and work #2 Organize and develop musical ideas and work #3 Refine and complete musical work Process: 1. Have students copy your movements and what you say. Tap your head, shoulders, knees, and toes four times and say aloud what body part you are touching. 2. Next have students copy you as soon as you move to the next body part. This will leave no gap in between. 3. Explain what a round/canon is and how the students just demonstrated one. 4. Next split the students up into small groups and have them come up with their own little cannons within their groups. Connection: Music and physical education Resources: Space for the students to move
