  • #66 Music Lesson Spotlight Scottish Dance Music
    Go through a super engaging music lesson plan with me, Jenny Licko as I share my expertise on Scottish music. I’ve taught this lesson hundreds of time and it’s one of those no fail, super rewarding lessons to teach.  Not only suitable for most music state standards, the national standards for the arts and the PYP framework this lesson on Scottish dance music is a dive into some history, culture and legends. A large part of the activities have a focus time signature and that relationship to various Scottish dances.  There is also a brief introduction of the bagpipes, and other traditional Scottish instruments, but we dive deeper in those instruments on the podcast #63 Scottish instrumental music.    www.scotlandintheclass.com

  • #65 Reading Lesson for Scottish Culture - Peter Pan

    Using a children's classic story is a great way to engage students because they already know a lot about the story! You are speaking their language! Peter Pan was written by Scottish Born James M. Barrie and how he came to write Peter Pan is really fun! This lesson focused on character traits, setting, and characters! This is a fun one!

    I’m going through one of my favorite 4th grade music lesson plans step by step and giving you the lesson plan to download and access to the lesson for remote learners!!! Yep, you get it all - one stop shop - except it’s FREE. The Scottish Highland Bagpipe is a part of this lesson, but so are other instruments such as the Celtic drum (Bodhran), fiddle, accordion, and the voice! This lesson reinforces elements of time signature, how rhythms and sounds send signals, dance, and history.

    Part two of 'How to teach about cultural diversity in your classroom' naturally. This week we are focusing on mindset so that you can objectively identify your own biases before you can celebrate all cultures.  Make sure you have the blueprint found on my website at www.theculturalclassroom.com.

  • #57 Celebrate Black Culture

    I don’t know exactly what to say about Black Lives Matter. I want to have the "right" thing to say, but I don’t know what that is. I am not black and so I don’t know what it feels like to be black. But I still feel deeply about treating everyone equally and celebrating the beauty in all people regardless of the color of their skin. What is do know and believe is that an educator's response to this should be out of love and respect.
