Practicum in Learning Theory Proposal: A Musical Tour

 

 

Target Audience

       Second grade students

 

Goals and Objectives

       The goal of my project is to produce an informative Web site about multicultural music, and use technology with second grade students to broaden their knowledge of diverse cultures.  The students will need to learn about the geography, foods, and musical instruments of selected countries.  The students will also need to learn to use text and images in a PowerPoint presentation in order to share the information they learn with others. The web site would be called ÒA Musical Tour.Ó The project would encompass the following learning objectives:

 

I. Learn five songs

II. Learn about the countries that the songs originated from through the webs site.  Student will:

A.   Download worksheets

B.   Answer questions on work sheets

III. Work in small groups to collaborate on a four slide Power Point presentation on one of the countries, including the following:

       A. Introduction Page

       B. Geography Page

       C. Food Page

       D. Musical Instruments Page

 

Standard and Progress Indicators

     The following standards and progress indicators will be met through my Web site, as provided by the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for the Visual and Performing Arts.

 

Standard 1.5 History/Culture

All students will understand and analyze the role, development and continuing influence of the arts in relation to world cultures, history, and society.

 

The interpretive statement relative to my Web site is that in order to become culturally literate, students will understand the societal and multicultural aspects and implications of music.
