Final draft of your lesson plan
You will submit your final draft on Wednesday (10/7). I will need you to go to writing center to have the staff read your final draft. Make sure you get a feedback form from the staff and attach it with your lesson plan. I will also need to have the sheet music to be attached to the lesson plan. You will lose 5 points if you don't have the music attached.

Assignment#5
There are two parts in Assignment#5 (20 points).
1. 10 points: Find the clip of your presentation (first name and last name initial) and write a self-reflection about your own teaching presentation. Use the criteria sheet I gave you to evaluate your performance. In your reflection, I want you to answer these questions: (a). What did I do the best? How did I prepare for that so I did well? (b). What did I not do well? Describe the places that went wrong and explain why. (c). If I were given another chance to redo it again, what would I do differently (you can talk about all the aspects of the whole thing including writing the lesson plan, practicing it, and presenting it in class)
2. 10 points: Watch the clips you are assigned (the list will be out soon) and use the criteria sheet again to evalute your peers' performacne. In this evaluation, you will have to tell how this person did in his/her presentation based on the points we talked about in class and assign a grade out of 50 points to him/her. Your evaluation must be specific as if you were the teacher. Simply saying "good job," "awesome," or "nicely done," is not going to be enough. You will not get high scores out of this assignment if you are not specific enough.
This assignment is due on Monday night (10/5 11:59pm) on my blog: http://musicingdream.blogspot.com/

Monday class
Dear all,
It's really nice to see the majority of you post the lesson plan drafts on your blogs on time. Good for you and congratulations! You've completed the first step of this singing lesson project. On Monday's class, instead of having you "present" your lesson, I will actually let you "practice" your plan with your partners. You will have to go through the instructional step (really operate it step by step) in front of your friends and receive comments from each of your partners in your group. In order to do that, make sure you bring a copy of your draft to class. I want to make sure everyone has a chance to practice his/her lesson before the real presentation takes place (so you will have a good grade). So, come prepared on Monday!
See you in classs
