mins
Teaching Sequence:

After students have described each of the clocks and their differences
and identifying section A.

Teacher will play song entirely and have students will walk around the
room and create movements to each section. Teacher will instruct that
the A section that both students and teacher establish will stay the same.
Students will be asked to make up movements for the subsequent parts.

Teacher will then do this for both the B & C section and have student
describe characteristics of each.

As students interpret each section, teacher will identify each of them as
sections A, B & C.

Students in groups will listen to this a third time. This time with a
listening lesson sheet. Students in groups will construct the listening
lesson.

Teacher and students will listen to the piece one more time to make
sure that they have dictated the form correctly.

Teacher will show the form in correct order. Students and teacher will
discuss that this is called rondo form.


Culmination: (consolidation of lesson)

What are the significant characteristics that make up rondo form?
How did the music help us understand rondo form?
What music clues could you hear in this piece that helped you
understand the return of A?

Small ending activity: Students, using any category they choose will
come up with a word pattern that would be indicative of rondo form.
Ex: (A) Pancake (B) Butter (A) Pancake (C) Syrup (A) Pancake (D)
Bananas Coda: Whip cream.


Notes/Extension:

Students will form groups and using instruments students will
come up with a class composition on instruments in rondo form.
