This week I have been preparing the presentation with Audrey for the Celebrating Undergraduate Excellence digital event this year. We are almost done with our presentation.
I also looked at the lesson plan Audrey has been working on. I thought it was pretty good, although it could a little polishing. I could see a lot of similarities in both of our lesson plans, but I liked how she approached things differently. Notably, I thought it was interesting how when students would make their own music, that they would do so on paper, instead of using Word on a computer. I felt like that was a really good idea as it would likely be easier for some students to do that, and would make the whole lesson more simple.
It appeared to me that the lesson was also written in the perspective for the teacher to read it, and then teach the whole class. I thought this was interesting because I wrote my lesson plan so that students would be the ones looking at the lesson, and working on it like that. I am unsure what method would work best for this type of lesson, but I could see how the way Audrey approaches it as a good method if the teacher is fairly competent, as they would have more control over showing the whole class how to do each step of the process.
