1. LESSON : This is a music booklet and iconic map to accompany the song, “Peace is the World Smiling.” http://www.amazon.com/Peace-Is-The-World-Smiling/dp/B000SFLLQ4 Music mapping is a great way to introduce young students to melody, rhythmic duration, contour, and simple melodic intervals such as skips, steps, leaps, and repeated notes. Suggestions for approaching this song: have students analyze the song, sing it, move to the contour, learn about phrasing, vocal intonation, play an accompaniment as well as singing it in a round. Cut the map apart and use as a puzzle for problem solving. The more times the students interact with the Music the faster they will learn the song in addition to singing it.
