The Conductor...

Strauss' "the Bat"

WATCH THIS AMAAAAZING VIDEO!!!!

"What is a conductor?"

• A guy who plays a lot of piano?
• A man who controls a train?

"Well there is such a thing as a train-conductor! That's very good! And if he controls a train, what would a conductor of music control?

• A bell.
• A train.

"Ha, no not a train, and a bell?"

• Yes, like "Choo-Choo" pulls on the bell...

"Ohhhh, I see. Actually we are off the train thing, we are talking about music now..."

We continued our conversation about the "guide" concept and this is the list we came up with in class.

This was a fun discussion and we conducted each other.

The kids glued theirs and actually spent time making them look good, this was my ten second/stapled example!
