This assignment is comprised of three different parts that will show your learning of various course objectives from Lessons 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Part 1: To practice lesson planning, create an age appropriate movement activity for early childhood-aged students. Your lesson plan should include learning objectives, objectives for students, and objectives for teachers, materials, and a step-by-step guide on how to complete the activity. You will want to refer back to Lesson 7 to see an example of how to format and create your lesson plan and Lesson 5 for ideas and suggestions.

Part 2: To practice interdisciplinary lesson planning, create an age appropriate activity for early childhood-aged students that integrate music into another core subject (reading, writing, mathematics, science, or social studies). Your lesson plan should include learning objectives, objectives for students, and objectives for teachers, materials, and a step-by-step guide on how to complete the activity. You will want to refer back to Lesson 7 to see an example of how to format and create your lesson plan.

Part 3: To practice interdisciplinary lesson planning, create an age appropriate activity for early childhood-aged students that integrates movement into another core subject, different from the one chosen in Part 2 above, (reading, writing, mathematics, science, or social studies). Your lesson plan should include learning objectives, objectives for students, and objectives for teachers, materials, and a step-by-step guide on how to complete the activity. You will want to refer back to Lesson 7 to see an example of how to format and create your lesson plan.

Part 4: To practice utilizing assessments, create one assessment or evaluation tool (authentic assessments, formative assessments, product assessments, and process assessments), for one of the lesson plans that you created. You will want to refer back to Lesson 8 to see examples of how to utilize assessment tools.
