Problem

Select a topic or theme that would be beneficial to teach using three of any of the aforementioned performance elements in a 40-60 minute lesson for potential students. Using a specific age group and having them in mind as the main focus of the lesson plan. Lesson plans may also include a break (due to the ages and attention span of the students) as needed.

There is no specific "structure" to this plan, but the lesson should be able to name the activity, what the goal of the activity is and potentially how long the activity will go for. The lesson plan should have a section describing it between (per activity).

Reflection

I. What was the lesson plan about and some of the choices made in order to complete the lesson. What is being taught to students through the lesson? How do you think the lesson plan could be successful in a classroom setting?

II. How do performance activities help the theme/topic of the lesson? How do they lend themselves to this?

III. Is the lesson something someone would enjoy to play/do? Why or Why not?
