This unit will involve students working in groups to compose rounds. They will first compose individual 8-measure melodies in their assigned key and time signatures, excluding C major and A minor. Students must include proper notation of the clef, measures with bar lines, and a double bar line at the end. Their melodies will be evaluated based on a rubric for key/time signature accuracy, clef use, measures/bar lines, beats per measure, neatness, and are due tomorrow at the start of class along with the completed rubric.

Today we will begin a new unit.
This unit will consist of us working in groups to
create a round. The end goal of this unit is to create an eight measure melody then turn it into a four person round. But before we begin working in groups we need to work on our composition skills as an individual. Step One: Play “Row Row Row Your Boat” as a class
Step Two: Create an eight measure melody.
Determine your key signature and time signature. o Can’t write in C major/A minor. Determine what clef you should write in for your instrument. Make sure to include bar lines. Include a double bar line at the end. Neatness is key!! Other musicians must be able to read and play your work. Complete in pencil. This eight measure melody is due tomorrow, 4/19/2018, at the beginning of the class period. See back for rubric. The rubric must be turned in with your melody.
