IPI level:Teacher led instruction

Teaching Strategy Utilized: Day 1: Scan the music and sightread trying to sing as many correct notes and rhythms as possible. Discuss the "dah" introduction section. Sopranos will clap on the beat and altos will clap off of the beat. Rehearse the rhythm slowly and gradually increase the tempo. Day 2: Review the "dah" section and work for the open "ah" and put hands on the face to check. Day 3-Discuss the solos that occur at the beginning of the song. Scan the music and determine where unison and harmony occur. Day 4-Work on independent parts and review rhythms. Use a thumb check to have students self-assess their grasp on the concepts that have been taught so far in the song. Day 5-Review and do a large group assessment-Sopranos and altos. Day 6-Sing a cappella and listen for accurate harmony. Day 7-Discuss and perform expressive elements. Day 8-Polish for performance and hold solo tryouts for the concert.
