Week 5 Reflection

This week we really focused on presenting and putting into action our lesson plans. For Monday, we had to have a lesson plan prepared. After our lesson plans were collected we learned how to take information we had gathered and put into good teaching. On Wednesday we started singing with solfegee. After singing we worked in a group on practicing our lesson lans. Friday is recorder day, we learned the note d.

To learn how to teach effectively we went over the evaluation form. Our teacher discussed how to preform each part of the sheet in order to teach our lessons more efficientally. To learn how to sing a scale we were taught solfegee and its hand symbols. This way we could associate the sounds with vowels and motion. To practice our plans we got to work with other students where they could critique us and tell us how we can improve. For recorder, we learned a new note through new songs and practice on the recorder.

It is very important that we learn how to teach a lesson plan since we all want to be teachers. By learning how to write and effectively teach a lesson plan we are furthering our knowleadge. It is important to be prepared in teaching because a teacher needs to be prepared to do teach otherwise the students will not learn. Doing this assignment has also given us the opportinunity to figure out how to incorpert music into non music teaching. This week has been vital to our careers and teaching us how to be ready in the classroom.

For students knowing how to teach isn't real important but it is important for students to know how to be prepared. In school a student needs to know how to plan, be organized, and self-motivated. If a student can do these things they will have a good chance at succeding. So the lesson of planning could be important to a student because it could teach them how to make productive plans. Learning to sing is a great skill for students because it could be a way for them to learn to express themselves, the same as recorder.
