All of our concentration this week was put towards our group literature projects. We spent a little time on Wednesday reading a story and incorporating music into it. I think my group (social skills) worked well together, and I feel we are very prepared to present on Monday. We were able to accomplish everything expected of us. We completed a lesson plan, incorporated music into the story, and were also able to incorporate an extra lesson into it. Our extra lesson has to deal with telling time. The most exciting part of this process was trying to figure out which instrument could create a sound similar to the animals in our story. The major challenge was the time constraint on us. It is hard with a group with this many people to try to meet together. The class time helped some with this, but I wish we would have had a little more. Overall, I think this activity is a lot of fun and can help us to incorporate it into our classroom when we become teachers. Children can benefit in many ways from this type of lesson. First of all, they will be more excited to learn because of the music. The students will also appreciate our creativity and enjoy using insruments while telling the story. As college students, we enjoy playing the instruments with the stories, so elementary students will absolutely love it.
