Understanding by Design (UBD) Unit Plan

Title: UbD Lesson Plan. Subject/Course: Music

Grade
Topic: Steady Beat. : KG3 Designers: Nibal Hatoum

Stage 1 – Desired Results (PLAN)


Established Goals:

 The student will sing a repertoire of songs and play instruments.


 Sing songs that contain sol, mi, and pitches.
 The student will perform rhythmic patterns.
 The student will respond to music with movement.
 Demonstrate locomotor and non-locomotor movements.
 The student will create music through a variety of experiences.
 Improvise, using classroom instruments, body percussion, and movement.
 Use the voice in speech and song.

Understandings: Essential Question/Big Idea:

Students will understand that: What sounds in our environment have a

• The foundation of rhythm is pulse (steady • How does a person learn to sing?

silence. • What is the difference between speaking and

• The voice has different qualities for

speaking, and singing.


• The quality of a performance influences
the enjoyment level of both the listener and
the performer

Students will know: Students will be able to:

• that not all sounds have a beat. differentiating between sounds that have a
beat and those that do not.
• how steady beat looks and feels.

whispering and shouting.
• expressing an opinion about the quality of a
performance.

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence (STUDY)


Performance Task:

Performance assessment is ongoing. Teachers will assess students as they engage in the
following learning activities. Beat/No Beat, Steady Beat Silent Walking Game, Melody
Up/Down.

Other Evidence:

 Students will self-assess their individual performance.


 Students will tell what they liked about a group performance.
 They will give their opinion regarding how well the group stayed together and followed
the beat and how correctly they used their instruments or voices.
4 = Mastery – accurate throughout entire performance.

3 = Competent – accurate almost all of the performance (expected level for majority of students).

2 = Developing – accurate for part of the performance.

1 = Emerging – very little accuracy.

Stage 3 – Learning Plan (DO)


Learning Activities:

Rhythm: Beat/No Beat, Children recall things in their environment that have a steady beat
(clocks, heartbeat, car direction blinker), and create a movement depicting it.

Practice the movement for 8 beats.

Rhythm: Steady Beat Silent Walking Game, Students walk the beat to music played by the
teacher. Feet must stop when music stops. Children can be “caught” by the teacher for
walking when music stops, talking, or touching another person. Students earn their way
back into the game by sitting quietly in their seats.

Melody: Up/Down, Children make sounds that match the squiggles; then make up their
own squiggles and perform for each other. Children draw squiggles as teacher plays short
melodic phrases.
Timbre: Speaking/Singing Game, “Do What I Sing/Do Not Do What I Speak”.

Children should only respond to commands given with a singing voice. Once procedure is
established, students become leaders and must demonstrate their singing or speaking
voices.

Discussion: Students will tell what they liked about a group performance.

They will give their opinions regarding how well the group stayed together and how
correctly they used their instruments or voices.
