Y8 REGGAE MUSIC

Zip File includes - Full SOW, Student worksheets, PowerPoints (6 lessons), Assessment material, scores, extension material

This scheme is designed to simply get students playing three little birds by Bob Marley with the emphasis on them performing within the style. I have further included extension material if you wanted to include a bit of composition as a way of further challenging students. I find however, that even though the parts aren’t complicated, students often find the offbeat rhythmic element of Reggae challenging and so simply getting them to create an ensemble performance of the Bob Marley tune takes long enough. Lots of scope for expanding this to other instruments if you have the facilities/options.

I’ve included a screenshot of the ZIP file so you can see what you are getting and included a few examples of the worksheets etc.

PLEASE NOTE: I haven’t included the MP3s needed for the listening activities due to copyright so you’ll have to get a youtube link up for that.
