Reflection:
To adapt this lesson plan, I would use more contemporary music that students could sing along too. I would also use the 3 rd grade music standard of 4PR play a
variety of classroom instruments with proper technique. With this standard students would find classroom instruments that sound like parts of the song to play
along with it. Playing a short clip, like 30 seconds, and pausing when a new instrument is heard, is key. Students learn that more than one instrument is going into
the production of a song. Using the 3rd grade English language arts standard of W.3.2 write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and
information clearly, I could have students write about the emotions behind songs and if they would add any instruments to change the emotions heard in the song.
In this adapted lesson, students will be able to identify sounds in a song and recreate it and students will be able to write a paragraph describing the song and its
emotions.
