3rd+Grade+-+A+Ram+Sam+Sam

Teacher Name: Mr. Smoot Date: 11-6-2015 Subject/Grade: 3rd Grade General Music School: UNL Music & Special Ed. Class

Primary Focus/Learning Target: - Singing in a round with variously periodic entrances.

National Standards: - Create: Plan and Make - Performing: Rehearse, Evaluate & Refine; Present

Behavioral Learning Objectives: - Provided with a review of the previously learned song “A Ram Sam Sam,” as well as demonstrations of entrances in a round, students will be able to perform the piece as a round with correct entrances and stable pitch and intonation.

Type of Assessment (check all that apply): - Formative, Informal

Assessment (describe the procedure or tool used): - The assessment is certainly informal – I will verify that students are aware of the correct entrance for their group in the round by watching for individuals who do not do the motions on time.

Materials Needed & Location: - Teacher copy of the song “A Ram Sam Sam” (Available in jpeg below), CD track if available.

TOTAL Minutes in Lesson: 12-14

Sequence of Activities & Duration in Time for Each Activity or Assessment:

0-1 min. Remind students of the song, sing a small part for them.

1-3 min. Once they recall it, sing through it and have them echo, as a review. Split the class into 2 groups, by half of the class.

3-4 min. Begin singing the first time through, and have the first row be the example of when to enter. Use a strong gesture to cue their entrance.

4-6 min. Have each group start the round so that each row starts one phrase apart.

6-9 min. Have the students add a third group, by row now. They will enter 2 measures apart.

9-12 min. Have each group perform a different action when their group is supposed to enter. The first group should make eye contact, the second group raises their arms, the third group (when it happens) should stand or move forward.

Teacher Effectiveness Reminders: - Keep track of the motions students are capable of and split up the groups accordingly.

- Be sure to give a very clear cue on each entrance – don’t forget to let our first row be an example, so that those with impaired vision can understand their entrance.
