Select students to come practice on board- rest of class reviews work

Accommodations:

(List steps that

could be taken to modify the lesson, the
environment, or the delivery so that the child
can reach the objectives above.)
1. - SPED students could be allowed to make
their own body percussion sound instead of
using loud instruments
- SPED student could be allowed to show
Mi/Sol/La steps by oral notation
2. - ELL students only required to sing the
chorus of the song, working on the verses
- Onamonapia word would need to be
repeated many times in order to convey
playing of instrument on that specific word

Assessment/Evaluation: (State a
method of evaluating whether or not the
students learned the concepts or skills listed in
the objectives above. State WHAT will be
assessed and HOW it will be assessed.)

1. Listen for diction on Veterans day

song, assessing whether they have
participated in the practicing of
reading the verses
2. How percussion instruments are
played- ask individual students how a
certain instrument is played, right or
wrong, that has been covered in the
song story
3. Popcorn the notation on the board
around to students, informally
assessing comprehension of the skip
vs. step for Mi/Sol/La.
