Pattern Maker: Students will take what we have learned about syncopation and create an 8 measure spiritual using syncopation. |||| **Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:** Students will understand how learning musical notation can help them create and perform original music. || Students will know the difference between musical notes and rests. Students will know how to accurately sing different combinations of syncopated rhythms. Students will know how to write notes and rests into measures of 4/4 time. |||| **Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:** Students will understand how learning musical notation can help them create and perform original music. || Review syncopation game: Students will compare and contrast even and uneven rhythms through a listening game. Group Project: Students will work in groups to develop their 8 measure spiritual. |||| **What do you want students to be able to __do__?** Students will be able to hear the difference between even and uneven rhythms. Students will be able to write down 8 measures of rhythm using correct notation, one measure including syncopation. Students will be able to clap their created rhythm. Students will be able to create lyrics and movement for their 8 measure spiritual phrase. || Syncopation |||| **__ How __ will you teach this key vocabulary to enable students to meet the learning objective?** Review game Pattern maker strategy to create an 8 measure syncopated rhythm. || How can learning music help in problem-solving, goal setting, memory skills, self-esteem and teamwork? |||| **How will you differentiate for all the learners.** || (What will you do? What do you expect students to do? Include set induction and closing.)  ||  ** Time Allotment ** || Melissa will guide one group and I will guide the other. Help students notate their 8 measures and get them thinking about possible lyrics. Students can start thinking of movement and planning their performance for next class period. || 12 minutes ||

 * ** Method/Strategy **
 * Welcome and warm-ups || 3 minutes ||
 * Review Syncopation: Have students stand in a circle. I will clap a rhythm. If the rhythm is even they need to stay standing, if the rhythm is uneven, the will sit down. If they get it wrong, they will remain sitting. The last person standing is our “syncopation expert” for the day. || 5 minutes ||
 * Play “Push Boat Song”. Have students listen, pick a movement (sailing or work movement) and practice moving to the song. Moving to syncopation: Watch “Joyful, Joyful” YouTube video to give an idea of movement and spirituals. || 10 minutes ||
 * Group work: Students will divide into groups and start work on creating their own spiritual.
