Journal #4

This week we learned how to create a lesson plan by using the song Tideo, we had learned the song the week before. Using Tideo gave us a better idea of how we should fill the lesson plan out.
It's important for us to learn how to write a lesson plan because a plan will help us to organize the lesson step by step. This will help us to be more confident when we are teaching. It's important for kids because they will learn better if we are well organized. The more confident we are the more comfortable the students will be learning new songs and concepts.This week we learned how to write a lesson plan. We talked about the different components that make up the plan like making sure that the song is appropriate for the grade level. We learned that there are National Standards that educators follow when teaching. We learned rest symbols for the different notes and we learned the C note on the recorder. I am still having some trouble on the recorder but will hopefully start to grasp in more in weeks to come.
