Beliefs/Norms/Themes for This Week
Abstract Thought
Integration of Subjects
What You Should Have Read BY TODAY
- Nevanen, S. et al (2011). Art Education as Multiprofessional Collaboration
Driving Questions for Today
- How can I help younger children process abstract concepts?
- When integrating music/academic material, how can I maintain the integrity of all subjects?
Hour 1: Reviewing Musical Skills
1. Body Percussion: focus on dynamics and consistency
- Rhythms must be smooth, not choppy
- Consider ease of the eye: can viewers see movements well enough to copy?
- Consistent beat: if you're doing 4-beat rhythms at a certain tempo, don't suddenly do something longer/faster/slower without warning. It throws off expectations. That's when errors are made.
- DO throw in dynamic changes (soft/loud)...when doing this, show in body!
2. Review of Skills & Terms
- What are the musical terms we have covered so far?
- List of Music Terms
- Show some examples of musical terms and concepts we've covered!
- Are there any we missed?
3. Discussion: Arts & Academics
- What are some ways to integrate the arts into the class day?
- Can I do this, while maintaining the integrity of academic subjects and the arts? (Driving Question)
- Write ideas on note paper
- Here's the Padlet of our in-class discussion.
Definition of INTEGRITY:
- The state of being whole and undivided.
- Synonyms: unity, unification, coherence, cohesion, togetherness, solidarity
Definition of INTEGRATION
- Bringing separate things together
4. Racquetballs (Skill: Rhythm, Beat, Meter, Vocal Melody, Concentration) - SKIPPED
- Split into groups
- Some will keep beat, some will keep rhythm
- All will use voices!
- We'll make things as complicated as you can handle
5. BOOK: Zoom, by Istvan Banyai
Let's move to the reading area and look at Zoom, in preparation for our musical activity in the second hour!
- If you like this book, here's where to get it.
- Use voices to create sound effects for what you see.
Hour 2: Processing for the Classroom
1. ICES (bum bum bummmmm)
- who will collect & deliver to campus mail (1st floor by Dean's office)?
- please no talking during evaluation
- get me when you're finished
2. Discuss with a partner: Abstract Concepts
- Driving Question: How can I help younger children process abstract concepts?
- Are fractions an abstract concept? If so, how? If not, why not?
- How can the racquetball activity help in processing the concept of fractions?
- Share with another set of partners. Share with the class.
