Jazz Music: Video and Worksheet
-
It’s up to you if you want to lead this as a discussion (where you pause the video at the Q&A parts and ask them the questions in the teacher guide and discuss the answers) or pass out copies of the worksheet, pencils, and whiteboards and have them write the answers as they watch and then pause to discuss their answers at each section. I’ve printed enough for them to each have their own if you decide to go that route, but I’m ok if they just discuss. Additionally, you could choose to just have them watch and complete the word search while they watch.

Gonggi: a dice game from Korea: They probably don't need to watch the video as they have played this a few times now, but I'll include in just in case. Have them break into pairs. Each pair gets 5 dice to play, switching turns whenever one of them makes a mistake.

Read Aloud, Who Was Stevie Wonder?: Find the post it that says Lamer and start there. Leave it where you leave off. End Gonggi with enough time to read for about 5 minutes.
