Objectives For Lesson Plans

Glen Said:

I have a project that I have have to do a weeks worth of lesson plans for any grade and any subject.?

We Answered:

http://www.ckcolorado.org/units.asp (these are my favorite)
or http://www.coreknowledge.org

choose a grade on the left menu

then choose a subject

They are generally broken down into single day units with all of appendices intact. If you don't have to do your own lesson plans they will be fine. I believe they are written by teachers who teach in schools that use the Core Knowledge scope and sequence. Homeschoolers generally use these as inspiration and a starting off point in writing lesson plans linked to the Core Knowledge and Pearson Learning books.

Music lesson objectives?

We Answered:

First you need to figure out what this song is going to accomplish. Are you teaching about colors? Flowers? Steady beat? Dynamics? Tempo?
Were you given this song and then you have to come up for a lesson for it? Did you just randomly pick this song because you liked it? If you're not attached to this song, sometimes it's easier to start with an objective and choose a song that fits your goal. What age are you teaching this song to? (It's great for preschool... but I see you've posted this question elsewhere. Be advised that it's a little young for anything over Kindergarten)
That's all I can help you with for now... but if you need more help I'd be glad to offer advice!

First of all, your student is probably familiar with the tune of jingle bells, unless they're quite young. Have them sing it without words or with the "jingle bell"words, just to get them familiar with the tune again. Sing it with them the first few times just to make sure they've got it. Then sing it for them and ask them what patterns they notice in the song. (how many phrases, what key/tonality it's in, repetition, etc.)

Then have them sing it and assess them--from there it's tailoring the lesson to the student's needs

When teaching lessons, i find it's better to have more to accomplish and not get to it in the lesson than to have not enough to work on and be bored/unproductive. Maybe have another song that's a bit harder than this (one without a familiar tune but with easy lyrics perhaps?) Just in case your student is proficient at the song.

Hope that helps, happy teaching!
