Standard 6 - Reading, Writing and Oral Communication

Artifact description: This is a 3^rd part lesson plan, that was created in a literacy class with the help of two art majors. In this lesson we incorporated music through storytelling, the focus of the lesson was for students to be able to listen to music and recognize the importance and impact it makes in a story. This was the third lesson for the unit and students needed to create the music to their story they created in previous class by using Chrome music lab.

Standard connection: This lesson plan connects with the Illinois teaching standard 6, Reading, Writing and oral communication because in this lesson students demonstrate reading and writing when creating their stories. They need to listen to the music and communicate with teacher what sounds where they hearing.

Reflection: This was a very fun lesson to model, students understood by the end of the lesson how music can impact a story and the mood of the story. The best part was showing students how to create their own music using the chrome music lab app.
