I spent my hour on the teaching channel website. I looked at some incredible lessons that teachers had prepared and modeled. I was very impressed with an arts integrated ela and music lesson. It was located at www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teaching-ela-with-music. The teacher was doing a lesson on black history month with composer Duke Ellington. In the lesson, students discovered similes in the book and had to write their own similes. Students then incorporated their own similes into song. I also watched the lesson about teaching symmetry with dance - www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teaching - symmetry-with-dance. There was another lesson I watched that showed how basic music fundamentals enhance student learning. I gained a few new insights into my teaching from this video. Teaching rhythms was simplified and it makes sense to switch that in my lessons. www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teaching-music-fundamentals-enhance-student-learning. The final lesson plan I watched was about a music teacher incorporating poetry into her music lesson. She had the students write a haiku and then put instruments with the haiku in appropriate places. www.teachingchannel.org/videos/teaching-3rd-grade-poetry-lesson.
All in all, I thought the lesson plans I viewed gave me some tips about how to teach my subject better and easier ways to incorporate ela and math.
