Journal Week # 12

I think my group and I worked very well together. It was hard at first to find a meeting time where we could meet outside of class to wok on the project together, and unfortunately we had to decide on a meeting time where the most people could go and not everybody in the group because that seemed impossible. So I was not able to attend my groups meeting due to work, but I did contribute ideas as well as the book we worked with. Overall I think my group got along very well and came up with a good solid plan in teaching this book. We accomplished working together to come up with a lesson plan that integrated a story book, music, and a lesson about science. I think the goal of this activity was to work together to show that it is possible to come up with a lesson relating to music and a school subject, and that by doing this it makes learning a lot more fun and interesting for the students. The most exciting part of the process I think was teaching the lesson itself because we all worked together and for the most part it went pretty smoothly despite the large amount of group members that had to teach this lesson. Overall i think many children will benefit from this sort of lesson, because they have fun in learning and this way will be more likely to remember the lesson if they enjoyed it.
