Act 1/Review: Students will walk into the room and sit with their assigned groups. We will review
expectations for recorders and student computer usage. Students will be split up into two groups based
on their classroom numbers. One group will be completing an assignment using our Quaver Music Website.
Student will have choice in which activities they complete; history of the recorder, rhythm soccer
review, rhythm tic tac toe, and music matching game. Our second group will work with the teacher to
learn the song, “Recorder Mission”.
Transition: Students will transition to their assigned groups in different parts of the room.
Act 2: Group one will be self-directed in completing their Quaver assignment. Group two will get their
recorders out and warm up by reviewing the note “B”. They will have the opportunity to play as a group and
individually. They will then learn the song “Recorder Mission” by following three steps; 1) Clapping the
rhythm, 2) Singing the note in rhythm, 3) Playing the correct rhythms and pitches on the recorder. Group
2 will then perform with the audio track of Recorder Mission.
