Direct Instruction

This lesson shows co-teaching with myself and Hannah West. This lesson shows the students thinking about the musical instrument that they will use and how they can have these in a 4/4 time as well as keeping their lyrics in a AABB or ABAB rhyme scheme.

Hannah West is our creative space teacher this year and has been working with our classes on how to use garage band. The big overall focus for the term was for the students to create a rap and slide animation about the earth systems and how they interact with each other. This was one lesson out of many from the term where we revisited how to complete this rap. Hannah takes one half of my class each week for an hour which is where they worked on the music for the rap and students worked in class on their rap lyrics.
