Teach “Silly Sailor”

Song Used: Silly Sailor

This 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.

Review the Plastics poem

Copy Link
Unit Used: Earth Day

Read 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.
