My definition of RHYTHM is the uniformed repetition between vibrations and silence.
What do you like about the way she presented the information? Why?
- Miss Taylor was VERY ANIMATED which will keep the children on their toes! It's like reading a story to a child, why read it in your voice when you can create a voice so they will want to listen. I also applaud her for shortening the definition so the child will be able to understand the concept! She encouraged the class to create their own assumption of what was the definition of rhythm. I really liked this idea and could consider using this when introducing new concepts in my own classroom.
What do you dislike about the way she presented information? Why?
- The only thing I wished Miss Taylor did was ask her "audience" what their definitions were, although I doubt she had a real class there.
Is this an example of good teaching? Why do you think so?
- I believe this is a good example of teaching, her attitude and enthusiasm were very memorable and encouraging to when you begin to teach a lesson. Especially for this age group, I can sense how a younger child would laugh and giggle about how she was loud in one of the sections (I believe it was when she was giving the longer definition, assuming no one understood what she said).
- How many different ways did she present the information? Why do you think this is important?
- Definition
- Refined definition
- Picture
- Clapping the beat
- This is important because it allowed for all learning styles to understand how to determine the definition of rhythm.
