      2.    perform steady beats by means of chanting, walking, tapping, and clapping.

      3.    listen to steady beats in musical instruments.

      4.    apply new learning in becoming a better listener or follower.

KBI: Cooperation, being a good listener, and follower

II. Learning Content:

Music: Steady Beats (Ostinato)

Reference:.....

 Materials: Found objects or things inside the classroom

III. Procedure:

      A.   Introduction

      1.    Motivation: The teacher will ask the pupils to listen quietly to the following sounds:

·         The beat of their heart / pulse

·         The steady sound of electrical appliances inside the room (electric fan, clock)

·         The rustling of the wind or the buzzing of the streets outside the classroom.

The teacher will ask the pupils if what they heard were regular or steady beats.

      2.    Statement of the Aim:

In our lesson today, you are expected to exhibit understanding of steady beats or ostinato, perform steady beats by means of chanting, walking, tapping, and clapping, listen to steady beats in musical instruments, and apply new learning in becoming a better listener or follower.

      B.   Interaction

      1.    Presentation:

·      The teacher will ask the pupils to listen to a certain musical piece that he/she will play. Pupils will be asked to draw on a sheet of paper what they have visualized from the music that they have heard. Some pupils will be called to explain what they have drawn and why this reminds them of the music being played.

·        The teacher will introduce various ways that will show a regular or steady beat (claps, stomps, etc.)

      2.    Comparison and Abstraction:

·      Pupils will be asked again if they heard a regular or steady sound or beat in the     music played. Pupils will be asked to listen to the music again.

      3.    Generalization:

What is Ostinato?

      C.   Integration:

      1.    Application:

Pupils will be grouped together. They will be asked to produce steady beats and sounds using their hands and feet. Each group will be given 5 minutes to practice and 2 minutes to present.

      2.    Valuing:

·         After all the groups have performed, they will be asked about what they have learned in relation to beat.

·         The pupils will be asked the following questions:

a.    Did you have fun doing the group activity? Were you able to create steady sounds or beats?

b.    What did you learn apart from having a better understanding of ostinato?

c.    What is needed from among your members in order to create steady sounds or beats?

·         The teacher will try to elicit the importance of cooperation, being a good listener, and follower.

      3.    Evaluation: By group Beat presentation (assessed by rubrics)

      4.    Assignment:

Practice doing steady beats at home

Music: Sound and Silence

2:20 - 3:00 p.m. - Grade 2 - St. James
June 17 - 18, 2013 (Monday and Tuesday)

I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:

1. recognize the different ways of expressing messages.

2. identify the different kinds of sounds.

3. value the importance of giving respect to the people around you.

4. participate in games involving musical sounds.

K.B.I: Respect for others

II. Learning Content:

Music: Sound and Silence

Reference

Materials: pictures that express different messages (street signs, restroom signs, images of facial expressions), cd player, musical sounds

III. Procedure:

A. Introduction

1. Motivation:

* The teacher will introduce different hand signals to the class (hand signal for going to the rest room, fixing of chairs, passing of notebooks, etc.)

* The teacher will show pictures that express different messages and elicit responses from pupils as to what these pictures convey.

2. Statement of the Aim:

In our lesson today, you are expected to recognize the different ways of expressing messages, identify the different kinds of sounds, value the importance of giving respect to the people around you, and participate in games involving musical sounds.

B. Interaction

1. Presentation:

* The teacher will now play different musical sounds and ask pupils to distinguish these sounds (sound of a bell, sound of a person walking, sound of a dog barking, etc.)

* Discussion

2. Comparison and Abstraction:

* After having the pupils listen to different sounds, the teacher will select some pictures and ask the pupils to distinguish if the picture shows sound or silence. Selected pupils will be asked to post this on the board.

* Pupils will then be asked to distinguish sound from silence. Pupils should be able to share that sound is a distinctive noise or music while silence is the absence of sound.

3. Generalization:

The teacher will ask the pupils to pick a partner. Partners should try to relay to each other their answers to the questions without talking. The pupils will be asked the following questions:

* Did you find doing this exercise easy or hard? Why?

* What did you learn about sound and silence?

* Do you agree that there is a time to talk or make noise and there is a time to be silent or be quiet? Why?

* When the teacher asks you to be silent or quiet, what does it mean?

* Why does your teacher ask you to be quiet?

C. Integration:

1. Application:

Do the activities in the book.

2. Valuing:

Ask the following questions to the pupils and have brainstorming about it:

* Why is it important to be quiet or to listen attentively when someone else is talking?

* Do you think that this is a sign of respect?

* How do you show respect for others?

* Why is it important to give respect to the people around you?

3. Assignment:
