Nakia

Musicianship: 4 points- Nakia seemed to be well in tune with an accurate pitch. Her rhythm and tempo seemed pretty good too. Her phrasing was ok but maybe her expression could have been better because she couldve been a bit more excited.

Leadership: 9 points. Her leadership skills in presenting this lesson were very good. She seemed very confident about presenting this lesson to her class. I think that her body language, facial expression, voice tone and volume, and eye contact were all pretty good for getting the students excited about the song. Her intensity/energy was the only thing I noticed that could've been higher.

Preparation: 15 points. Her lesson seemed very well prepared. She knew exactly what she was going to teach at which moment and didnt seem to be nervous about it at all. She had all her equipment ready before the lesson and her knowledge of the music and her plan seemed to be perfect for this song.

Delivery of Instruction: 20 points. Nakia's delivery seemed excellent for this instuction. It's very difficult to do this assignment in front of your own classmates and not feel nervous but she pulled it off, she seemed very confident, which is a quality that teachers must have. She definately motivated and captured the attention of her students by the outside equipment she used as well as talking about Thanksgiving because she was relating the song to her students lives and getting them more personally involved. Her plan seemed well organized and carried out and her closure seemed appropriate for the lesson as well.

Total points: 48

Whitley

Musicianship: 3 points. Her rhythm and tempo seemed quite accurate as well as her phrasing and expression, however I think her pitch in her voice was a little low and when she played the recorder she had some pitch and wind issues.

Leadership: 9 points. Her leadership in presenting this lesson was very good. She seemed confident in front of the class and her body language, eye contact and facial expressions were all good and appropriate for this song. She also had good intensity and energy in front of the students to get them excited from this song.

Preparation: 14 points. Her preparation was pretty good. She seemed like she practiced her lesson a few times. The only thing I thought she could have practiced more on was playing the song on the recorder because it was a bit shaky on it. But her knowledge of the music and her plan seemed pretty good and she had all equipment ready on hand.

Delivery of Instruction: 20 points.
She did well in relating the song to her students because she asked at the beginning if any of the students knew a Betty or a Martin. Her questioning was also very good because she asked questions to the students throughout the lesson to get them more active and involved. She also did well in motivating the students because she got excited with them in singing the song and did well in involving the students in the song too. Her lesson also flowed pretty well with good pace and feedback.
