Lynn,
Lest you think I'm really organized and on top of things, let me explain that I only got this second assignment done because I'm procrastinating about getting my literature assignments written! It's a crazy system, but it sometimes works for me. Like the sensory center assignment, this is only a first draft. Feel free to provide copious constructive criticism!

Chapter 10: Music and Movement:
Reading Assignment: Pg. 299-324

Discussion Board by midnight on Friday:
Part 1: Choose one of your previous assignments for this course in which you created a lesson plan for one of the learning domains. Develop a music and movement lesson to incorporate into that lesson plan. Present your plan using the following format:

• Age and/or developmental level of your students:
• Learning domain of original lesson plan: (Copy and paste the original lesson plan into this week’s submission for our reference)
• Materials to be used:
• Procedure for activity:
• Describe how this music/movement lesson will enhance your original plan.

Part 2: Research local resources and identify a guest you will invite into the classroom as part of this lesson. Write a mock letter to this guest inviting him/her to your classroom. Explain how this person’s participation in your classroom will enhance the goals of your lesson(s). Remember that your actual audience is your peers in this class, so include relevant information for those of us who will likely be unfamiliar with your guest, and describe a bit about this person’s work in the world of music or movement. You could choose a local musician or dancer, or branch out into regional or even national personalities. As always, it is a good idea to use your creativity and imagination in this lesson plan!

Discussion Board by midnight on Sunday: Respond to at least 3 of your peers’ posts.
