Bring two or three samples of traditional and contemporary Punjabi music for the students to listen to. In subsequent lessons, have students bring to class a piece of music they like. Students role-play shopping in a music store. A group of students are planning a school dance and must agree on the music. The school has given them a fixed budget to buy CDs or tapes.
Students create a questionnaire about music preferences.
Have students develop regular journal entries. At this level, students are expected to talk and write about increasingly complex ideas and information. Assessment emphasizes the extent to which they are able to convey meaning in classroom interactions and prepared presentations. Students continue to rely on language they have practised. They are also beginning to develop individual repertoires of vocabulary and structures that they can use to communicate personally meaningful ideas and information.
