Artifact Explained -
In this portion of a sound and silence lesson for kindergarten students, I used an activity where I had some of the students sit on stools to represent beats. We were working on varying forms of iconic notation for students to understand when sound should happen and when it there was silence. They had engaged in this material in many different ways to this point and the new way of doing it with their own bodies was a quick exciting way to end a class. This assisted with the kinesthetic learners moving into positions, the visual learners seeing a new form of iconic notation, and the aural learners still hearing the rhythm in accordance with the notation.
