Unit Plan Canvas

I found the process of creating a canvas difficult, mostly because I'm not use to the way the page is set up. Once I got an idea of what icons were I slowly figured out how to apply them to the canvas. Each icon has it's own set up with headers, links, and uploads so it was a little confusing but I think after saving it and looking at how it lays in the canvas you can tell the idea gets across. I like having a lesson plan lay out like this. The terms they will be learning are the first thing they see mainly "C major scale" and "Tetrachord" just in case they forgot what the lesson is about or needed a refresher. The standard that meets 1.3.5.B.3 is right at the bottom along with the others. Canvas will be great for visual learners. I like that students can see the CCS that they meet by doing this lesson, also having the extra resources will definitely help students gain another perspective on the same idea's presented in class. If they missed how to use note flight the music composition software there is a tutorial video for them. If they forgot where the C major scale is on the piano, or the proper fingering for that scale there is also a video tutorial for that. There are even tips for composing from the link http://www.haydockmusic.com/composing_tips/writing_melodies.html If anything was missed in class there is a plethora of resources for the students to use and do their assignment.
