Pointers / Guides for your lesson plans assignment

Dear students....

just a couple of pointers/ guidelines to help you with your assignment.........

(1) You need NOT pick a specific theme for both of your lesson plans. If you have, it's ok too. But will not be a neccessity. Focus on the element of music or movement.

(2) Decide on only one element for each of your lesson plan. Be specific when you write. Eg. Tempo - Fast & Slow

(3) You can choose to focus on either Elements of Music for both lessons or Elements of Movement for both lessons or one of each. Up to you.

(4) Your hello and goodbye song can be the same for both lessons or different.

(5) Minimum lesson time should be at least 20 mins but do not exceed 30 mins.

(6) You need to have at least ONE objective per lesson but do not exceed TWO objectives per lesson. Make sure the objective is MEASURABLE. Do not write something like this : The children will be able to experience Fast and Slow (You can't measure "Experience")

(7) You can choose to use the template provided by Shaireen or follow the sample lesson plan format I've put up on MEL.

(8) It will be helpful if you can provide lyrics as an appendix for your lesson plan. DO NOT SUBMIT the lyrics on safe assign - only hard copy!

(9) Please ensure that your main activity adhere to your Objectives!!! And that during CLOSURE, ask questions so as to ensure that your objectives are met.

(10) Please make sure to include at least 2 questions in each section (TUNE IN, MAIN ACTIVITY, & CLOSURE)

Hope these pointers will help and clarify some doubts while working on your lesson plans.
Please feel free to email me at cayc2009@gmail.com if you need further clarifications.
