Site Map switchImage("nav_exploreAndLearn"); var highlight="nav_exploreAndLearn"; Teacher Resources Lesson Plans : Eighteenth-Century Music and Dance Eighteenth-Century Music and Dance GRADE LEVEL: Elementary School BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Music in eighteenth-century Williamsburg was the accompaniment to daily living. The citizens of the colonial capital aspired to the prevailing London fashion and their music, dance and musical instruments were a reflection of this aspiration. The Reverend Hugh Jones, historian, wrote in 1724, "They live in the same neat Manner, dress after the same Modes, and behave themselves exactly as the Gentry in London." It is not surprising to search the inventories of these early citizens and find listed among their effects spinets, flutes, guitars, violins, violin-cellos, fifes, French horns, drums, harpsichords, organs, harmonicas and pianofortes (pianos) in addition to numerous "parcels of musick." Though inspired to enjoy everything that London afforded, the means to this enjoyment were limited by local conditions in a city too small to support a professional class of concert performers. An occasional music teacher of above average ability, a group of talented amateurs, and some of the indentured servants or the slaves were the musiciansand the music and instruments the best and newest that could be got from England.

Lesson Plan #:AELP-INT0025 Frogs: A Thematic Unit Plan An Educator's Reference Desk Lesson Plan Submitted by: Lisa Turturice Endorsed by: Dr. Karlyn Wood SUNY/College at Old Westbury Date: July 31, 1996 Grade Level(s): Subject(s): Interdisciplinary Arts/Visual Arts Arts/Music Language Arts Mathematics Physical Education/Rhythms and Dance Science/Animals Social Studies Theme: The theme of this unit, "Frogs," is especially appropriate for children at this level because they are fascinated with animals and are often highly motivated to explore their immediate environment. The unit can be adapted for children at other primary and lower intermediate grade levels. It is assumed that the children will be acquainted with their local environment and that they have previously had some introductory study of their local neighborhood. Overview: The overall purpose of this interdisciplinary, thematic unit of study is to help young children learn more about the metamorphosis and development of an amphibian species as they become involved in a number of interdisciplinary lessons and activities over a three or four week period. The lessons and activities of the unit are specifically designed to help the children to develop related concepts as they gain an appreciation of ways frogs help our environment. The children will also have experiences in caring for animals, and they will have opportunities to express themselves through creative work in art, music, and movement activities.
