Beat vs Rhythm

The following worksheets will be supplied to the student. Each worksheet has a different song and the key to help them understand what the beat is and what the rhythm is.

They will choose the appropriate video from a classroom channel on YouTube that goes with the worksheet.

Insy Winsy Spider

Hickory Dickory Dock

After completing this assignment, the students should have a better understanding of the difference between beat and rhythm.

I chose to use YouTube, a website for storing videos, because it is easy to use and familiar to many already. YouTube also allows the user to set up channels so it would be easy to group videos together for easy location.The students, even those in early grades, would be able to upload videos to save, use for assignments, share with family members, etc.

Some things to keep in mind with this type of assignment are: how many computers are available to your students, how familiar are they with using websites, and the security on YouTube is tricky for children who try to search for videos not related to the class assignment.
