Southfield Public Schools: Lesson Planning Template

Lesson Closure: At the end of session 4, students will explain to the class how they used collage to show the style of

Jazz music. Students will be asked additional questions such as: How does collage relate to Jazz music? What are

similarities between collage and Jazz music? What Jazz instruments did you use in your collage? What was the lesson

about? My assessment will take place on our last day of working on our project at the end of class.

Instructional Resources/Materials/On-line

Students will listen to the songs and simultaneously see the illustrations of the book “This Jazz Man” on Youtube to

learn about Jazz music, see how Jazz musicians dress, and see the instruments used to create Jazz music. Students

will see the collage outfits and instruments of the Jazz musicians in the book “This Jazz Man” as a point of reference

for their own projects. Student will be read a passage titled “What to Wear (The Musicians)” from the illustrated book

“Jazz Day”. They will learn about how Jazz musicians would dress when they played Jazz music and will see

illustrations of what Jazz musician clothing looked like. Students will watch a PowerPoint presentation on the

smartboard for the introduction/pre-assessment of the Jazz musician and instrument lesson. Students will listen to

Jazz music on YouTube when they work on their collage project in class. Construction paper, patterned paper, pencils,

sharpies, glue sticks, oil pastel, paper templates, instrument templates, clothing templates, instrument reference

Lesson Accommodations

Special needs students who lack fine motor skills (difficulty with drawing) will have instrument, clothing, and body

templates available to them in order to create their Jazz musicians and musical instruments on construction paper.

Gifted students will collage or draw additional details of their Jazz musician and musical instrument such as accessories,

buttons, etc.

What will you do if students do not understand?

Provide one-on-one guidance to individual students or have students engage in peer support/sharing. Students who

finish their projects early or who understand the lesson well will help other students who are struggling in creating

their collage Jazz musicians and instruments. I will repeat the demonstration of the lesson with step by s tep process

work and directions as needed.
