    #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!

    Lesson Spotlight Scottish Instrumental Music

    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.

    #59 How to teach about cultural diversity part II

    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. It's called 'how to teach about cultural diversity,' and it's a pdf document that I'm calling a blueprint. It has everything you need to get started and stay on track with being a teacher who celebrates cultural diversity.  It's also essential that you listen to episode no. 58 - the first part of the series - before diving into this episode.
