Legend of the Philippines.

 

To start with I would display a photo of a famous legend of the Philippines. Their task would be acting up their guesses about the two main characters and what coul've happened in small groups.

Secondly I'd give them instructions to create a kazoo, which is an American musical instrument that adds a "buzzing" timbral quality to a player's voice when the player vocalizes into it. Luckily, it's not that hard to make one—you can make a simple kazoo out of a comb or toilet paper roll, or a more complicated one out of wood!. Then I would give them the story cut into pieces so that they could join them and get to the end

Finally they would write up a poem from a few words of the legend that we would include in the initial image.

The Colour Monster song

I have always used songs in classes at any level. They allow you to work on so many issues, such as vocabulary, structures, grammar, not to mention the Listening skill, if it's a gap filling, or the fact that students tend to unwind when listening to a song. This last idea made me think it would be a great idea to use The Colour Monster song as a relaxing activity in my classes. I have to mention I used it for second graders of ESO in a highschool last year and they loved it. We worked on feelings and wordbuilding and from that moment on I received a different answer than "I'm good" to my question "How are you feeling today?" They started to use: upset, worried, thrilled, calm or sleepy. I even recommended the same song to one of my tutoring students, whose teacher at school (1st of BACH) asked them to look for a song that uses colours in it. We linked colours to feelings and came up with a list of feelings, using both nouns and adjectives (anger/angry). N

Humpty Dumpty STEAM

  Humpty Dumpty is a nursery rhyme that I usually use for a STEAM lesson plan because it is a great way to incorporate science, technology, engineering, art, and math, but also, literacy and music. On the one hand, you can do different experiments to reinforce the concepts of sinking and floating. For example, I fill a clear jar with water and place Humpty in, as you know, he should go right to the bottom. Then, I ask the students what they think will happen if you add some salt to Humpty’s water and stir each time to dissolve the salt. As we know, the salt makes the water denser than the contents of the egg, so Humpty will float to the top of the jar. Another experiment that could be used to introduce the concept of solids, liquids and gases is to place Humpty into some vinegar in a see-through container and leave him for a few days and do some regular observations. There would be bubbles forming around the egg within an hour, so we can ask our students what they think the bubbles

"We are going on a bear hunt" with instruments

  *After attending this course I thought that one of the stories I normally tell my infant students every year in autumn would be perfect to add some sounds to it. The story chosen is " We are going on a bear hunt ". Normaly I just make the sound effects myself using my mouth or I find the sounds effects online. I've already done it this year but for the next I think it would be great to prepare some materials, not sure if you could call them musical instruments, for the sound effects. The first time I would make the noises but for the next retelling sessions, kids could make the sounds themselves: -Grass "swishy swashy": ran a broom or dusting brush along the floor. -River "splash splosh": throw something in a bucket with water -Mud "squelch squerch": shake a bottle with soil and water. -Forest "stumble trip": hit stisks together (like brunshes in the forest) -Snowstorm "hoooo woooo!": blow air into a cup -Cave "ti
