 Teaching the song (6-7 min)

- Break the song into smaller chunks
- Have the students repeat chunks after demonstrating them (my turn, your turn) and
have the students clap or tap while they sing
- Once they get the smaller chunks, merge them (halves)
- Repeat the echo process with the larger chunks
- Put the whole song together, sing it once with them and have them sing it by
themselves
- The students perform it once more, but this time have them point their finger on the
word “you”

 If time allows
- Pick a student to be the leader
- Tell the other students to make a stirring motion with their hands while they sing the
song
- Have the leader come up to the front of the class and sing the song there, and on the
word “you,” they point to one of their classmates and that student is the new leader

VIII. Assessment:

Overall Outcomes: Assessment for Each Outcome:

1. Sing the melody with correct pitches
with 85% accuracy
2. Reproduce the song’s rhythms with
85% accuracy
3. Transition from singing in head voice
to speaking with 90% accuracy
For each outcome, I will actively watch and
listen to the students as they are performing to
determine if they are being successful. I will
stop and correct when needed.

XI. Adaptations:
No adaptations needed for this class.
