Give your students the opportunity for interactive listening and reading fun while experiencing classic poetry, famous speeches and documents of history. These 18 reproducible poems contain highlighted words that, when read, indicate special instrumental sounds and rhythmic motifs to be played by your students. If you don't have all the instruments suggested, substitute or consider body percussion. The teaching suggestions provide a framework for instruction but can be manipulated to best fit your students' abilities. The enclosed CD-ROM offers projectable and printable options. Poems include: Daddy Fell into the Pond; The Spider and the Fly; The Night Before Christmas; Jolly Old Saint Nicholas; Marching Song; The Hare and the Tortoise and more.
