5th Grade Music students begin
their "Wild West Unit" by learning the songs, My Home's In Montana
and There's AYellow Rose In Texas.
|
After learning the songs, students
learn the
basics of ukelele parts and care, handling,
and chord recognition and fingering.
|
While some students practice
their ukeleles, other students are creating their Wanted Posters based on
characters of their choosing. Each character must reflect an occupation
and a crime authentic to the 1800's
in the western United States.
Towns mentioned must also reflect what
existed in the U.S. at that time.
