After exploring how music and other auditory stimuli can inspire us to see visual imagery and narrative threads through our mind’s eye (for example, Barachois' "La Marmotteuse" -- click here to hear a sample), students will make their own kazoo and retell a traditional tale with gestures and sounds but without words. Telling a story without words effectively reinforces the understanding that sounds and movements are a critical elements of a performer’s repertoire. Through the process of building their own instruments, students will also learn scientific concepts behind how sound is created through vibrations. This lesson plan covers California 2nd grade standards in Music, Theater and Physical Sciences.

2nd & 3rd Grade Lesson Storytelling Lesson Plan: Project Butterfly - See That Caterpillar Fly!
Students in Sandra Posey's EWS 411: Education, Diversity and the Arts course created storytelling-based lesson plans which integrate multidisciplinary standards. These lesson plans were then implemented at the Boys and Girl's Club of Pomona Valley as a service-learning project. The version here was created based upon California Content Standards (corresponding Colorado Standards are also included).
The attached lesson plan, by Olivia Barraza, explores the life cycle of the butterfly through both Eric Carle's A Very Hungry Caterpillar and Barraza's own equally imaginative "Lou's Story" wherein caterpillar Lou wonders why he doesn't look like his beautiful butterfly parents. Students learn how warm and cool colors evoke different moods and will explore this idea in creating their own storyboards, which then become the basis for their own storytelling performances.
California and Colorado cover life cycle in 2nd and 3rd grades, respectively, and corresponding standards are provided for each.
