Performing: Creative
Manifestation of Material Learned
Establish a classroom atmosphere that celebrates the sharing of learning. Have opportunity for students to practice new learnings. Make student learning available to the larger community, i.e. books students write are shared with other classes, students report in school paper, student work is displayed at school, etc.
Give performance. Discuss making instruments. Sign autographs. Pop & share popcorn.
Objective: To share what was learned with others in the school and with parents.
Activity: Children invite other classes to their performances. After the performance, each child explains to someone how the instrument was made and how to play it and signs autographs if asked. Popcorn is popped prior to the performance to set the stage and is distributed in small brown bags to guests.
Assessment: Individual interest and participation in sharing knowledge with others.
