The teacher will ask the students if their parents have ever sang a lullaby to them before they go to sleep. Then, the teacher will hum the “Rock-A-Bye Baby” song to see if the children are familiar with the tune. Next, the teacher will show the students the book that will be read to the class (Love You Forever) (Standard 1.1 and 2.1 - The teacher will ask the students about what the title of the book is, who wrote the book, who illustrated the book and where it says the names.)
Afterwards, the teacher will read the book out loud to the class. Whenever the rhyming part is going to be read, the teacher will also make the children read/sing it to the tune of the lullaby too. (Standard 1.2 – Students will have to follow reading the rhyme along with the teacher. They will be able to read from left to right, top to bottom.) Also, they will be able to learn and read the repetitive contraction words used in the chant, such as “I’ll,” “I’m,” and “you’ll.” (Standard 1.13)
Every now and then, the teacher will stop and ask the students about some of the events that they just read. This will be done to see if the children can remember what happened so far in the story, in order to enhance their comprehension skills (Standard 2.2.) When the book is finished, the teacher will ask questions about what happened through out the whole thing to see if they understood what was just read to them (Standard 2.5.)
Lastly, the students will perform only the “chant/rhyme” after the book is read to them. The teacher will hand out shakers to a selected few of the students first. All the students will be able to use the shakers at least once. The students will have to use their own creativity to try to come up with their own rhythm and beat as they sing along with the lullaby.
