This week we had to come up with ideas for our lesson plans. Monday we prepared a lesson plan so that we could have it roughly evaluated. After our lesson plans were collected we learned how to take information that we came up with we learned how adjust it into good teaching. We started singing with solfegee. Then we recieved our lesson plans pack and talked with our group. Then Friday we use our recorders and learned a new note.
Then to help up develop teaching skills effectively we went over the evaluation form. We as a class went through and discussed how to preform each part that was required.
We also learned how to sing a scale we were taught in solfegee and then associate hand symbols.
To practice our lesson plans we went through them with our groups so they could give advice and critique us and throw out helpful suggestions. It is very important that we learn how to teach a lesson plan since we all want to be teachers. By learning how to write lesson plana we are becoming more familiar to what we will be doing as teachers. It is important to be prepared in teaching because a teacher needs to be prepared to do teach otherwise the students will not learn. By being able to come up with our own lesson plan has helped us to incorpert music into non music teaching. Within a school a students need to be aware that there are certain things that must be done and we as teachers can help motivate them. Learning to sing is a great skill for students because it could be a way for them to learn to express themselves.
