1. Your national standards statement is missing.
ReplyDelete2. what aspect of language are you going to talk about in this lesson? Be specific about it.
3. It doesn't seem that in the procedure you cover the concepts and skills (music and nonmusic) you list in the front.
4. "Have the students try to whistle with the part that involves whistling. If they are not able to whistle, have them stomp their feet instead of whistling." This is not going to work for 2nd graders. Most of them cannot whistle. Just take that whistling part out...
What is your closure activity?
