TESTS:

Each of the two tests in the class will cover the material presented in the textbook and in class. The second test will cover only the material from the first test to the second test.

TEACHING PROJECT/PAPER:

  • The teaching project will consist of a written paper on the research you do in preparation for the lesson that will be presented in class, a lesson plan and a presentation to the class. Proper citation of researched materials is expected in the paper. The paper should use proper English and will be graded on content and grammar. Topics should be appropriate for the National Standards #8 (Understanding the relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts) or #9 (Understanding music in relation to history and culture).
  • The presentation will be for your colleagues. So you can assume the core knowledge of music received at UNT.
  • The presentation will be a 10 minute lesson presented in class based on the content of the paper. Evaluation will be based on organization, timing, and good teaching procedures (voice, eye contact, etc.).
  • A lesson plan for the 10 minute presentation must be presented at the time of the presentation

LESSON PLAN:

  • While there is no standard format for the lesson plan, it should include your objectives, your procedures, the materials you will need, and your assessment techniques.
  • The lesson plan will be for the presentation to the class during the last weeks of the semester.
  • The lesson plan does not need to be a script to be read to the class but should include the components discussed in the class lectures on lesson planning.
  • Acknowledgement of different learning styles and different activities should be included.
  • Remember to utilize a great deal of music and coordinate the activities of the class with the music

BUDGET ASSIGNMENT

  • Your budget for the year is $10,000. Design a yearly budget for your particular organization. Using whatever sources you need, purchase items in your line-item budget; spend the entire $10,000
  • You must use formulas for the multiple item purchases and the running balance
