1. Tell the students to do what you do.

2. Put the steady beat into your feat for the song by marching in place
(anticipate that you will correct the students who will stomp very loudly
and not follow your pace.)
3. Once the steady beat is being shown in everyones march, ask the
students to repeat after you.
4. Speak through each line of the song using inflection and dynamics in
your voice to tell the story. Add appropriate motions.
5. Were goin on a bear hunt!
Were coming to a snow storm
Were gonna catch a big one
We cant go over it
What a beautiful day
We cant go under it
Were not scared!

Accommodations:

(what YOU will do to modify your lesson)

1. (for a child with special needs) Have the student stand next to you and guide them as
we go through the story

2. (for an ELL) the motions of the song and the echoing will help the student through the
story

Assessment/Evaluation:

1. The students must copy the

teacher exactly in their actions,
dynamics, motions, and word
infeltions
