\"Catch that Firefly\"

\"3/2 Clave Rhythm\"

","steps","

Engage - 5 minutes
- Play a portion of “Tin Tin Deo” by Dizzy Gillespie.
- Instruct students to move in a way which matches what they hear. As they move, they should get a feel for the music.
Explore 1 - 20 minutes
- Distribute a few copies of the Catch that Firefly comic story. Prompt students to read the story.
- Ask:
- Play “3/2 Clave Rhythm,” from 0:06 to 0:30. Have students try to chant “Catch that Firefly” along with the clicks.
- Explain that they listened to a rhythm called the 3/2 Clave. It’s a common pattern in jazz, rock and latin music. Using a rhythm, or a chant, creates an easy way to learn and complete an action.
- Say, “Chano’s mom used a rhythmic chant to help Chano with his timing. Let’s see if we can get the timing as well.”
- Play “Catch that Firefly.” Encourage students to enact catching a firefly along with the video.
Extend I - 25 minutes
- Explain to students that it’s now their turn to create a chant that supports the completion of an activity.
- Divide students into groups.
- Have students think of a daily chore such as washing dishes, taking out the trash, or milking cows.
- In their groups, students should think about the movements needed when completing the chore, the pace at which one moves and a rhythmic chant to match. Remember to keep the chant short and easy to repeat.
- Prompt students to practice moving to their chant while miming the completion of the chore.
- Use the Google Metronome set at 82 beats per minute (BPM).
- Have students practice the chant and chore movements to the metronome.
- Move the metronome BPM up and down providing students with differing tempos, or pacing, to practice their chant. Ask students to select the BPM for their chant.
- Direct students to present their chore to their peers. Peers should guess the chore as each group performs.
- After each performance, peers should name one element of the performance which was done well.
Reflect - 20 minutes
- Invite students to tell the story of chores.
- As a class, they should arrange their chores in an appropriate rhythmic order. TIP: Encourage students to think about how the rhythms sound together. They could start slow and speed up or they could reverse it.
- Once the order has been determined, the class performs their story of chores.
Outcomes to look for
- Students develop rhythmic chants – or a repetition of words.
- Students create movements, pacing and a rhythmic chant that represents a chore.
