Teaching Procedures
Play poison rhythm with ti-ticka rhythms
Copy LinkLearn about the Sea Shantey
Copy LinkTeach “Silly Sailor”
Copy LinkThis song is a traditional sea shanty, often sung when raising a sail, or raising the anchor. (Referred to when you sing “up she rises”) There are four verses recorded in this arrangement, but many more can be found. Have your students create new verses for the song.
Read the rhythms and sing the note names for the song. This would
also be an excellent rhythm erase or rhythm dictation for later.
Learn the partner movement for “Silly Sailor”
Copy LinkAdd movement to “Silly Sailor”. Have each student find a partner and do the movement suggested to go with the song or have them create their own.
Do the movements and sing “Silly Sailor”
Copy LinkOption 1: Play “Silly Sailor” on Ukulele
Copy LinkThis song can be played using only two chords. Accompany the song with guitar, ukulele, or Boomwhackers. If you are playing the chords on Boomwhackers, for D minor use D-F-A, and for C use C-E-G. Have your students create new verses for the song.
Option 2: Teach the Orff arrangement for “Silly Sailor”
Copy LinkThis song can be played using only two chords. Accompany the song with guitar, ukulele, or Boomwhackers. If you are playing the chords on Boomwhackers, for D minor use D-F-A, and for C use C-E-G. Have your students create new verses for the song.
Review the Plastics poem
Copy LinkRead the words of the Plastics Poem.
Think of things that you could do to help reduce plastic pollution.
For example: I could use cloth shopping bags
Write 2-5 new lines. You can use the worksheet that's provided, or write on a piece of paper.
Read the lines you’ve written and choose the 2 (or 4) you like the best.
Decide on a form for your composition. For example:
A Read the poem
B Read your new lines
A Read the poem again
Extra Challenge: Create an ostinato with mouth sounds. An ostinato is a pattern that repeats.
For example: tu ch-ch tu ch
ta ti-ti ta ta
Do the mouth sounds while someone else in your home reads the poem. Incorporate this into your performance.
