Assignment #7

Evaluation Form For Emily Mann
Lesson: Teaching the song "Frarashaka" in both French and English
Musicianship (5 pts): 5
I thought that Emily was always in tune and kept an accurate rhythm and tempo throughout her lesson. She could keep a steady beat and had the students singing on pitch. Her voice was very easy to follow and the students could always hear what Emily was singing.

Leadership (10 pts): 10
I thought that throughout Emily's lesson she was constantly interacting with her students. She kept eye contact with everyone and you could always hear what she had to say.

Preparation (15 pts): 15
I felt that Emily was prepared to present her lesson to the class. She knew her music and didn't seem to rely on her written lesson plan. She knew how to teach her lesson without using classroom instruments or the piano.

Delivery of Instruction (20 pts): 18
I felt that Emily did an excellent job with delivering her lesson plan to the class. The only thing that I noticed was that she just assumed that the class knew the English version of the song. Maybe she could of taught the class the English version like she taught the French version. I thought that Emily's lesson was very creative and I enjoyed the dance that she made up. I thought that it was good that the students had to interact with each other. This presentation kept my attention and I felt that the verbal instructions were good. Maybe for Emily's next presentation she could question the students more and talk in a voice more suitable for young children.

Total Point: 48

Lesson Plan: Teaching the song "Row Row Row Your Boat"
Sing in a round
Musicianship (5 pts): 5
I thought that Nick did an excellent job singing in a voice appropriate for young children, especially since he is a guy. He was very in tune and easy to follow. He knew how to keep a steady beat and tempo that children could follow.

Leadership (10 pts): 10
Nick always had constant eye contact with the students and talked in a voice appropriate for children. He knew what he was doing and was confident when teaching his lesson.

Preparation (15 pts): 15
Nick seemed very prepared for his presentation. He knew his music and how he wanted to teach "Row Row Row Your Boat" in a round. He even had his presentation memorized and didn't need his written lesson plan.

Delivery of Instruction (20 pts): 19
Nick did an excellent job with continually asking the students questions throughout his presentation. He really had the students interacting with the teacher and each other. He always showed his students what he wanted them to do and made his lesson creative. I thought that it was creative that we all had to get into "boats" and row to a specific destination. I liked how Nick asked the students where they would like to travel and how they needed to get there.
