For this final project I choose a lesson plan that I adapted for an ELL class. The objective of this lesson is to teach second graders about the difference between beat and rhythm and to practice keeping a steady beat. I have used Sea Chanties as musical examples because they are work songs sailors use to haul up the sails more efficiently by pulling on the lines in time to the music. For my techonology modification, I have used the smartboard to play a youtube video of people singing a sea chanty and hailing up a mainsail. This will give a visual to the students of what it looks like to pull on the lines in time with the music. I could also use the smartboard to play more musical examples of different kinds of sea chanties. Faster tempos are for raising up less heavy sails while slower chanties are for the really heavy stuff.
