This is a three day lesson that I have written up to incorporate working with small ensemble experiences. The students will listen to a small band and then be in charge of recreating their own groups with their classmates. A Human Interaction-Based Curricular for 4th grade

Lesson Plan for a Full Elementary ClassSpecific Movement to Song Chart Experience Design TemplateLittle Help From My Friends TeachingReflection
The students were told to follow me with no context and with no prep for the experience. The learners were in charge of observing and reproducing the same moves I was creating in real time. They were also In charge of recognizing the pattern so when it returns it is much easier to pick back up on.
The Beatles music in this piece in particular groove very well. The piano and drum set are really laying down the time so I thought it would be a good opportunity to have students do some improvising as well as copying because the beat was always where they expected it to be. I also picked the song because its about helping out one another through friendship and I want my students to have a friendly and open relationship with their classmates.
