Rocks, by Joan Corner*, is a music-based, integrated teaching unit with a creative, fun-filled approach to helping children learn about rocks and minerals! This is a 2 CD set. CD-1 holds the Rocks instructional binder and Crystal's Courage readers' theatre, both in PDF format. CD-2 holds six, wonderfully informative, original and easy-to- sing songs, plus a mineral Identification Rap, as well as instrumental versions of each song.
The Rocks instructional binder contains lyrics and guitar chords for each song, many activities to link movement to the music (e.g. body percussion, line dancing), a teaching story, A Day in the Mountains, and many guided suggestions to help teach the main concepts to young learners. The Readers' Theatre play, Crystal's Courage, is a play about individual differences.
