Basic 9 Creative Arts And Design Term 1 Week 4 Lesson Plan

folding. Prompt learners to discuss in small groups which technique(s) they believe were used for each piece, laying the groundwork for the day's lesson. Draw attention to the new lesson’s content standard and indicator(s).

Groups examine the Local clay with calabash mould and identify how a mould supports casting. They arrange and join the Scrap-card assemblage pieces to test how separate parts form one artwork. They crease, pleat and fold the Brown paper sheets to test folding techniques. Learners place the three results in labelled casting, assemblage and folding zones and explain the material properties, tools and safety practices appropriate to each process.

Summarize the day's activities, emphasizing the value of different artistic techniques, the importance of feedback in the creative process, and the necessity of maintaining a safe and organized workspace. Summarize the importance of arpeggios and harmony in music.

and harmony. Ask them to listen closely and identify when they hear individual notes played in succession and when they hear them played simultaneously. Draw learner’s attention to the new lesson’s content standard and indicator(s).

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Ghanaian atenteben; Keyboard; Printed sol-fa cards. Learners observe the local examples and use the materials or instruments in the practical design, making, or performance task below. Play or demonstrate arpeggios for different scale degrees on a piano or another instrument. Have learners practice singing arpeggios for each of the seven scale degrees in small groups. Explain the concept of harmony, emphasizing the simultaneous sounding of two or more notes. Play or demonstrate harmonized triads on a piano or another instrument. Pair up learners and have each pair sing harmonized triads, with one student singing the root note while the other sings either the third or the fifth. Assessment 1. What is the difference between an arpeggio and a harmony? 2. How many scale degrees are typically in a major or minor scale? 3. When singing a triad, which scale degrees are typically involved? 4. How can harmony add depth or emotion to a piece of music?

Encourage learners to listen for these elements in songs they hear outside of class and to think about how they can use them in their own singing or music-making. Discuss the importance of stage presence, harmony, and improvisation in drama.

Play a short piece of music. Let learners move freely around the room. When the music stops, shout a keyword, e.g., "Swim!" or "Fight!" Learners freeze in a pose that represents that keyword.

Concrete-resource task: Set out these resources for each group: Atumpan drum; Calabash rattle; Printed photographs of Ghanaian dance poses. Learners observe the local examples and use the materials or instruments in the practical design, making, or performance task below. Divide learners into small groups. Call out the various movements like walking, running, crouching, swimming, fighting, etc. Encourage learners to improvise and perform the movements using dramatic flair and exaggerated postures. Rotate the movements, allowing for each group to try multiple ones. Introduce stage directions: DR (Down Right), UL (Up Left), DC (Down Center), DL (Down Left), CC (Center Center). Ask learners to move according to these directions, ensuring they understand each position. Introduce stage profiles: open profile, close profile, full back, and full front. Lastly, introduce positions: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Let learners practice transitioning between these positions fluidly. ASSESSMENT Keeping the learners in their groups, ask each group to create a group artwork in place or in motion with stage balance/harmony in mind and use appropriate language to give supportive and informative peer- and self-evaluation. Encourage learners to ensure their scenes have harmony and balance, meaning no part of the stage should feel "too empty" or "too crowded."

Encourage learners to notice these elements when they watch plays or movies.
