1st Grade Tells the Story of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf
Posted by: awillis2 in Lesson Plans, Reflections
During the winter trimester, the first graders at FHCDS studied Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. They learned about the characters of the story and how the instruments of the orchestra represented each character.
At the end of the trimester, they (with my assistance) created these podcasts. For this project, they composed new rhythms for each character, performed the rhythms (as well as they could) using classroom instruments, told me the story so that I could narrate it, and they drew all of the pictures.
I hope that you enjoy their renditions of Peter and the Wolf.
