Sequential Learning, Rote Note and Lesson Plans

How to Plan a Lesson:
-Set the stage by getting the students attention
-State the Objective
-Teaching- teacher gives input to the students about the lesson
-Teaching- teacher shows an example
-Checking for Understanding- makes sure the students comprehend
-Guided Practice- involve the students in the lesson
-Closure- review and evaluation of the lesson
-Independent performance- students using the skill or information Learned

Teaching a Student by rote:
This is the I-sing-you-sing method. Many times songs taught with rote are done in a phrase-by-phrase approach. During this process the song is divided into sections where the teacher sings first and then has the student echo back what she has just sung. The students will then start repeating one phrase and then will begin to repeating two at a time. After the whole song has been taught, he teacher will sing it once through and then the students will echo her. On parts that were not repeated correctly, the teacher will then go back through them and make them correct. After the song in polished, actions are added. For older students, motion can be added first as well as melody.

Importance of Sequential Learning:
There is a great importance to sequential learning.  It helps children learn to read because it makes them aware of the sounds associated with. That is how sequential learning is associated with music, but it is also used in the general classroom. Sequential learning is doing one task prior to the completion of the other in order to build understanding. This happens when things build on each other, which is very important in the general classroom. Kids learn when things are repeated over and over again. They have to have practice to remember. When things are taught that are incorporated into the next lesson, it just gives kids more practice and another reason to pay attention. I think sequential learning is very important because it helps kids know that you use the things you learn.
