Jazzing Up Instruction: An Integrated Curriculum for Elementary Students. [Book and Audio CD].
Spanoghe, Kelly; Messenger, Bill
Originally created to help children with learning disabilities by addressing different cognitive learning styles, this workbook and CD work equally well with classroom stars. Based on the premise that music makes learning fun, the workbook is guaranteed to bring each lesson to life lyrics are easy to learn, and students will love the rhythms and tunes, and the "Jazz for Kids" CD will also introduce children to a truly American art form. Intended for students in grades K-5, all lesson plans have been thoroughly classroom-tested, and whether used by classroom teachers or home-schooling parents, the workbook will allow teachers to create learning environments that support every learning style. The 10 stories in the workbook each one aimed at students in a different grade--correspond to the 10 musical selections on the CD. Each different story section contains an overview, theme, story, song lyrics, comprehension, vocabulary, and workbook activity. Contains a 52-item bibliography. (BT)
