Provide a metaview, lifting students into a wider view of the concept. Use another medium (not reading or writing) to connect students' personal knowing to the concept (i.e. visual arts, music, movement, metaphor, etc.) Involve learners in reflective production that blends the emotional and the cognitive.

Reading Rhythms Kinesthetically

Objective: Students will experience note values kinesthetically; further developing the sense of long and short note values.
Activity: Write another eight measures on the board. Clap and say as before. Add movements to the sounds. Stomp the quarter notes, patsch on lap the eight notes and lightly clap the sixteenth notes.
*Add the half note and the whole note to the palette. Explain the length relationship of the notes and ask for suggestions on representatives movements. Try different movements for all of the note values. Discuss which ones work well and which ones do not. Why? (Standard 5)
Assessment: Quality of the student responses.
