SCDC Spanish Curricula Units. Fine Arts, Unit 4, Grade Two, Teacher's Guide.
Spanish Curricula Development Center, Miami Beach, FL.; Dissemination and Assessment Center for Bilingual Education, Austin, TX.
Fine Arts for second graders are explored in the instructional and assessment activities in this teacher's guide to unit four. Unit four revolves around the basic theme of the neighborhood. Kits 13-16 treat the spiraling questions of who the child is, what his wants and needs are, what his resources are, and how he uses his resources. Focus, materials and objective for each activity are in Spanish and English, with teacher instructions in Spanish only. Words and music for about 18 songs are provided; recordings of vocal and instrumental selections can be heard on Cassette 13-16 (available separately from the Dissemination Center). Students sing the songs, relate their texts to social studies themes, and study specific music concepts featured in each song. Dancing, drawings, discussion and work with percussion instruments are also among the activities. Areas of study include the expressive qualities of music; rhythm patterns and their relationship to the tempo and character of music; the musical elements of form, pitch, timbre, mood and appreciation; and the intonation and dynamic levels of vocal interpretation. Assessment activities determine how much knowledge the children have acquired in the instructional activities and what areas need reinforcement. (DS)
