  4. Curriculum Framing Questions Unit Questions • Why do we like what we like in music? • Where can you use note reading and rhythm skills in you life or future life? • Can Music change who you are? • How is the availability and accessibility of music changing our culture?

  6. Classroom Goals Teacher goals Student goals • Find ways to get my students more interested in the music in our everyday environment. • Introduce students to new ways to consider the music we hear. • Instill in students a respect for the music and musicians of the present and past. • Give students a basic framework of understanding for music theory. • Connect music knowledge to the real world • To become independent learners. • Collaborate with peers • Create a product that shows what you’ve learned. • To connect with both the product and the process. What are your goals?

  7. Gauging Student Needs Assessment Purpose of the Assessment • To gather information about what students already know and what they enjoy about music What I want to learn from my students? • I want to know what kinds of prior musical experience they have had to better understand what skills are needed.

  8. Gauging Student Needs Assessment How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking? • I ask students to find relationships between their experiences with music and what they wish to know about music theory and history How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit? • I will plan activities to that answer students questions regarding areas of interest

  9. Reflection I’m much happier with the flow of this unit and the way the knowledge for the quarter will be combined in a creative way for assessment. This show not tell model works well for music and I am excited to see how students respond.
