My unit is based on the music of China. We have been learning about a new country each month in music this year (Music from Around the World) and we are just beginning to look at China. These are the activities that I have chosen to meet my objectives.
Activities:
Students will review the four families of instruments found in Western music by using a smartboard sorting activity.
Students will discuss 5 features that make Chinese music sound different than Western music after reading the supplied cue sheet based on an online podcast about Chinese music.
Students will listen to 3 podcasts about different types of Chinese music.
Students will use a trackstar activity to find more information on Chinese instruments.
Students will create their own instrument.

Your unit really sounds interesting. I know that students will be excited discovering the music of China using the smartboard. How fun to make your own instrument.
