I. Objectives
How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
This is the final lesson of the unit plan, where many of the concepts and skills they learned through Hava Nagila will be included and assessed in this lesson. The
students will take turns singing through the entire piece, dancing the steps, and playing an ostinato for the piece. This mini concert will also act as a preparation for
their Spring concert which will happen in May.

ART.M.I.3.4 Sing melodies with confidence in a large group
ART.M.I.3.9 Use a system to read quarter notes and rests, eighth notes, half notes, and whole notes
ART.M.II.3.6 Add vocal, instrumental, and physical responses to a selection presented in 3 rd grade.
ART.M.IV.3.2 Describe how elements of music are used in examples from world cultures, using music performed and presented in 3 rd grade.
(Note: Write as many as needed. Indicate taxonomy levels and connections to applicable national or state standards. If an objective applies to particular learners
write the name(s) of the learner(s) to whom it applies.)

Students at this time should have a substantial knowledge of rhythm and rhythmic notation for quarter
notes, eighth notes, and quarter rests. They will know the steps to producing a healthy sound with their
voice and will have the tools to help them match pitch with others. They will already know the entire
melody of Hava Nagila, the xylophone ostinato, and 75% of the dance.
Pre-assessment (for learning):
Students are matching definitions about aspects of the folk song with key terms on the board.
Formative (for learning):
I will watch to see who may still have trouble with the grapevine step and try to help them coordinate
their feet.

Students will be dancing the last part of the dance steps while I watch to see if they can do it without
my help.
Summative (of learning):
I will grade for improvement by using a rubric when students are playing the xylophone. I will check
to see if they are following the pace of the rest of the groups and if they are able to play the correct
rhythm as an ostinato. I will also be checking their reflection assignments to see what they have
learned about the Jewish celebration traditions and the context of Hava Nagila.
Provide Multiple Means of Action
and Expression
Provide options for physical actionincrease options for interaction
-Students will be dancing all of the
steps to Hava Nagila in large
groups
-Students will be playing the
xylophones in groups
Materials-what materials
(books, handouts, etc) do
you need for this lesson
and are they ready to
use?
All chairs should be pushed to the sides of the classroom to allow for optimal dancing/playing space.
Xylophones will be at the front of the classroom, off to the side until they are needed.

I have not taught this lesson yet, but I will be teaching it this coming week. Considering I did not include the ostinato part of
this unit in my classroom, I would be focusing on learning the last part of the dance and having the students dance through
all of the sections well. I could see having all of these activities going on at once possibly posing a challenge for students if they
are easily distracted. In the implementation, my goals at Ada Vista would be more centered on if they know the lyrics and the
melody, because only two groups of students will actually be dancing to this song at the spring concert. After this lesson, I will
be working to have the students sing the sections in two-part harmony, and I will single out which students show an
understanding of the dance and will only have them dance it.
