I have a student in my class that is hearing impaired. I have her sit in the front of the class. She also uses a hearing device when she comes to music class with a microphone that I wear. I make sure that I am in close proximity to her. |

Tools and Strategies

The two strategies that I will use in my classroom are:
1 - Peer partners- Peers will assist and evaluate performances of other students during our recorder unit. Students will use a rubric to identify areas that may need improvement. I also will use peer partners with music symbol games and iPad listening games.
2- Graphic organizers- I will use graphic organizers to compare and contrast two pieces of music. I have used this activity with "Soldier, Soldier" and "Lazy John." |

Assessment of Learning

I have been using "Kahoot" on the iPads as an assessment tool. The students are very motivated and love demonstrating their knowledge in peer groups and as individuals. I've used it to assess music symbols, instrument sounds, note reading etc...It is a really fun and engaging way to assess. |
