Reflection # 8

This week we learned about the importance out the importance dynamics and we also learned how to use vocal inflections to dramatize the story, The Piglet Brothers. There were certain phrases within the story that were underlined which means they needed some type of sound effect to take place of the word, and some students were required to figure out some type of noise that could b used to dramatize that phrase.
We also had the opportunity to create our own songs and figure how to incorporate dynamics and vocal inflections into the story and then each group had to perform it for the class. I think that it was very interesting t hear the stories that the other groups came up with. We also played the recorder and learned new note F #.
You can’t always assume that children learn in the same way so you must change your style of teaching adapt to your students. You can allow children to work while listening to music or you can teach them things y incorporating it in a song. Whatever you do you must make sure that it is keeping the interests of your students.
We went of the requirements and rubric for our multicultural project and I decided to do mine on African American culture. That is a very broad concept so I want to slightly touch on slavery but I want to focus more on the Civil Rights Movement, and also some present culture which would be Obama being the first black president.
