the students about opposites; what they are and where we can find
them.

the rhymes they heard in the books.
3. The teacher will talk to the students about finding
rhymes in songs, also.

for the students, by giving them the starting pitch.
5. The teacher will sing a line and have the students
repeat the line, all the way through the song.
6. The teacher will give the students the final starting
pitch and the class will sing the song al
together, all the way through.
Closure: The teacher will discuss with the class
where rhymes can be found and also discuss some examples. Review!
Evaluation: The evaluation will be an informal process
by class discussion.
Follow - up: The students can find other places
where rhymes can be found and discuss.
Musical Extension: If I were to teach a musical element
with this lesson, I would teach the concept of form ABA.
Round the Clock
Round the clock the hours go, Sometimes fast and
sometimes slow, Tell me what the two hands say, They will tell
the time of day, Eight o'clock, it's time for bed. Come with me,
you sleepyhead.
Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face
Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that dearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.
Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.
Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place-
be glad your nose is on your face!
