media type="custom" key="8172472" media type="custom" key="8316382" I am going to do a unit on hand percussion that includes lessons on math and rhythm, using hand percussion for dance, cultural history of percussion, and having the students write a letter to a child their age about their experiences. The first lesson would include basic note division and time signatures, showing the children how the rhythms are just patterns, and teaching them how putting it all together can help them produce music. A smartboard would be used to show division of beats and to help the children interact with them. The second lesson would include having the children sit in a circle with a few people on the outside with the drums making beats for children on the inside to dance. They would switch around who was sitting, playing the drums, and dancing. The third lesson would include a powerpoint telling the children about how different cultures use hand drums and using videos to show what we talk about. Then having the children reproduce some of the ideas we talked about and possibly going on a field trip to a cultural dance/drum performance. The last lesson would be a video near the end of the unit of a child their age who plays the hand drums. The video would be followed up with a worksheet asking questions about the video and having the children write a letter to the child explaining their experience with hand drums and then have them draw a picture that goes with the letter.
