Key Stage 3 Music - Folk Music

Lesson 6


Lesson Objectives

  • Learn how to rehearse as part of an ensemble for an assessment.
  • Learn how to evaluate our own and others’ performances.

Starter

Recap last weeks video feedback. What did we use to help us improve our group rehearsal/performance? What will your group be focussing on in today's rehearsal?

ALL groups will be filmed today and given video feedback.

Using your success criteria, what has been successful so far? What still needs work?

Has there been an improvement from last time? Be sure to ask your teacher for help/advice on how to improve!
