 * Lesson eleven:**
 * Description of lesson:** Making musical instruments- out of recycled goods
 * Lesson Aim:** Children will participate in a fun lesson involving making musical instruments out of recycled goods. An expert may need to come into the school to help with this. These could be shared at an assembly to make the school aware of the issue.
 * Learning outcome:** Understand how to reuse recycled goods and create objects of use.
 * Prerequisites:**

- Projector set up with video loaded - Milk bottles - Tin cans
 * Materials and resources:**

Ø What different kinds of musical instruments can you see on the video? Ø What is a musical instrument? Ø What musical instruments do you think would be simple to make out of recycled goods? Ø What else could we use recycled goods for?
 * Guiding questions for this lesson:**

1. Children will view a short clip of people playing all different kinds of home made instruments made out of recycled goods using the projector. 2. Teacher will question children as to what they saw on the video and what instruments they liked or disliked. 3. Show children two examples of the types of instruments we are going to make. (drums out of tin cans and one stringed guitars out of milk bottles and strings) Ask them to discuss with a partner what they think they will need to make these particular instruments. 4. Teacher will demonstrate how to make these two instruments and explain what materials they will need. 5. Children will choose an instrument they would like to make and collect the materials. 6. Children will be given time to make these instruments. Teacher and any other helpers available will roam the class helping out children where needed. 7. Children will complete these instruments and be given time to play them and complete any last bits. 8. Children will sit in a circle and be asked to carefully pass around their instruments so everyone can have a look at the different types of instruments. 9. Teacher will conclude lesson by discussing the fact that many different things can be made out of recycled goods which is another way of helping to reduce rubbish.
 * Lesson outline and procedure:**

Following the principles of Student Centred Learning and Scaffolding in this lesson... Teacher will be the scaffold for childrens learning by guiding only, when children are stuck help will be on hand, but other than that the child are to be independent.The children will develop their own ideas and use these to create a musical instrument.
 * Teaching strategies:**

Children with special learning needs may still be able to complete this task, however, depending on the specific need they may need to make a slight alteration of the musical instruments. Child may need a buddy or teacher aide to assist them the entire team as this is a hands on task which requires a lot of fine motor skills such as cutting and measuring.
 * Accommodations:**

This lesson can either be completed in one afternoon lesson or two shorter lessons depending on the class and time available.
 * Timeline:**

Teacher will be able to gain a good understanding of the effectiveness of this lesson by looking at the outcome the children produce and how they enjoy the process throughout. Teacher will be able to assess if this level was too difficult or easy for this particular class by looking at the amount of work they complete alone in this task and the amount they need help for.
 * Ideas for lesson evaluation and teacher reflection:**

__Assessment idea:__

From observation teacher can tick and comment in boxes where children are sitting against the criteria.
 * Learning outcome**: Children will participate in a fun lesson involving making musical instruments out of recycled goods.
