Interpreting the Curriculum Maps Measurement Topic: The overarching organizational structure used to group content/concepts within the curriculum map Pacing: The recommended time period within the year for instruction related to the essential questions to occur Essential Questions: The overarching question(s) that will serve to guide instruction and to push students to higher levels of thinking. Essential questions should guide students to the heart of the big idea or content and should meet the following characteristics: A. Endurance: important for the long term B. Leverage: applicable to or connected with many academic disciplines or concepts C. Readiness for the next level of learning: prepares students for success in the next grade/course D. Clarity: provides clear and common understanding E. Measurable: able to be assessed Concepts/Content: A list of the big ideas, broad topics, or major underlying concepts covered in the development of the essential questions Learning Targets/Skills: The content knowledge, processes, and enabling skills that will ensure successful mastery of the essential questions Benchmarks: The Sunshine State Standards aligned with the learning targets and skills (see next page) Key Terminology: The content vocabulary and other key terms and phrases with which students should be familiar and that support mastery of the learning targets, skills and essential questions Activities and Resources: A suggested listing of high quality, appropriate materials, strategies, lessons, textbooks, videos and other media sources that are aligned with the learning targets, skills and essential questions Assessment: A list of district required and optional classroom assessments at are aligned with the learning targets, skills and essential questions. Assessments should include formative assessments to monitor progress and inform instruction as well as summative assessments for grading and reporting purposes. ************************************************************* The curriculum maps for this course are divided into three sections, which align with the Big Ideas of the NGSSS: C Critical Thinking and Reflection; S Skills, Techniques, and Processes; O Organizational Structure; H Historical and Global Connections; F Innovation, Technology, and the Future. It is common practice that many or most of the sections, and the concepts associated with them, are taught simultaneously in every lesson (hence the Spiral Curriculum ). The purpose of delineation into separate sections is for assessment purposes., The lessons provided in each map (which align with the Measurement Topics) are suggestions; teachers may use additional or substitute lessons/materials as long as the learning targets, vocabulary, standards, and essential questions are addressed. It is hoped that by using this format, teachers will focus assessments guided by the learning targets of the maps while continuing to provide a comprehensive course of music study.
NEXT GENERATION SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDS USERS GUIDE FOR ALL USERS: A coding system is used in all curriculum guides to identify NGSSS and course Content Statements. Benchmark Code: For easy reference, each strand, standard, and benchmark has been assigned a unique identification code. For example: MU.912.C.1.1 Content Area Grade Level Big Idea Enduring Understanding Benchmark Big Ideas C Critical Thinking and Reflection S Skills, Techniques, and Processes O Organizational Structure H Historical and Global Connections F Innovation, Technology, and the Future The first two letters of the code identify the content area (e.g., MU for music). The next number(s) identify the grade level. The next letter (C, S, O, H, or F) identifies the big idea. The next number identifies the enduring understanding, and the last number identifies the benchmark under the grade cluster within the standard.

String players self-diagnose and consider multiple solutions to artistic challenges based on background knowledge of the repertoire, and explore creativity through composition, arranging, or use of technology. Public performances may serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals. Students may be required to attend and/or participate in rehearsals and performances outside the school day to support, extend, and assess learning in the classroom. Students in this class may need to obtain (e.g., borrow, rent, purchase) an instrument from an outside source. CRITICAL THINKING and REFLECTION: Critical and creative thinking, self-expression, and communication with others are central to the arts. Cognition and reflection are required to appreciate, interpret, and create with artistic intent. MU.912.C.1.1 Apply listening strategies to promote appreciation and understanding of unfamiliar musical works. MU.912.C.1.2 Compare, using correct music vocabulary, the aesthetic impact of two or more performances of a musical work to one's own hypothesis of the composer's intent. MU.912.C.1.3 Analyze instruments of the world and classify them by common traits. Assessing our own and others artistic work, using critical-thinking, problem-solving, and decision- making skills, is central to artistic growth. MU.912.C.2.1 Evaluate and make appropriate adjustments to personal performance in solo and ensembles. MU.912.C.2.2 Evaluate performance quality in recorded and/or live performances. The processes of critiquing works of art lead to development of critical-thinking skills transferable to other contexts. MU.912.C.3.1 Make critical evaluations, based on exemplary models, of the quality and effectiveness of performances and apply the criteria to personal development in music. SKILLS, TECHNIQUES, and PROCESSES: Through dance, music, theatre, and visual art, students learn that beginners, amateurs, and professionals benefit from working to improve and maintain skills over time. The arts are inherently experiential and actively engage learners in the processes of creating, interpreting, and responding to art. MU.912.S.1.3 Arrange a musical work by manipulating two or more aspects of the composition. MU.912.S.1.4 Perform and notate, independently and accurately, melodies by ear.
Development of skills, techniques, and processes in the arts strengthens our ability to remember, focus on, process, and sequence information. MU.912.S.2.1 Apply the ability to memorize and internalize musical structure, accurate and expressive details, and processing skills to the creation or performance of music literature. MU.912.S.2.2 Transfer expressive elements and performance techniques from one piece of music to another. Through purposeful practice, artists learn to manage, master, and refine simple, then complex, skills and techniques. MU.912.S.3.1 Synthesize a broad range of musical skills by performing a varied repertoire with expression, appropriate stylistic interpretation, technical accuracy, and kinesthetic energy. MU.912.S.3.2 Sight-read music accurately and expressively to show synthesis of skills. MU.912.S.3.3 Transcribe aurally presented songs into melodic and/or rhythmic notation to show synthesis of aural and notational skills. MU.912.S.3.4 Analyze and describe the effect of rehearsal sessions and/or strategies on refinement of skills and techniques. MU.912.S.3.5 Develop and demonstrate proper vocal or instrumental technique. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE: Works in dance, music, theatre, and visual art are organized by elements and principles that guide creators, interpreters, and responders. Understanding the organizational structure of an art form provides a foundation for appreciation of artistic works and respect for the creative process. MU.912.O.1.1 Evaluate the organizational principles and conventions in musical works and discuss their effect on structure. The structural rules and conventions of an art form serve as both a foundation and departure point for creativity. MU.912.O.2.1 Transfer accepted composition conventions and performance practices of a specific style to a contrasting style of music. MU.912.O.2.2 Transpose melodies into different modalities through performance and composition. Every art form uses its own unique language, verbal and non-verbal, to document and communicate with the world. MU.912.O.3.1 Analyze expressive elements in a musical work and describe how the choices and manipulations of the elements support, for the listener, the implied meaning of the composer/performer. MU.912.O.3.2 Interpret and perform expressive elements indicated by the musical score and/or conductor. HISTORICAL and GLOBAL CONNECTIONS: Experiences in the arts foster understanding, acceptance, and enrichment among individuals, groups, and cultures from around the world and across time. Through study in the arts, we learn about and honor others and the worlds in which they live(d). MU.912.H.1.1 Investigate and discuss how a culture's traditions are reflected through its music. MU.912.H.1.2 Compare the work of, and influences on, two or more exemplary composers in the performance medium studied in class. MU.912.H.1.3 Compare two or more works of a composer across performance media. MU.912.H.1.4 Analyze how Western music has been influenced by historical and current world cultures. MU.912.H.1.5 Analyze music within cultures to gain understanding of authentic performance practices. The arts reflect and document cultural trends and historical events, and help explain how new directions in the arts have emerged. MU.912.H.2.1 Evaluate the social impact of music on specific historical periods. MU.912.H.2.2 MU.912.H.2.3 MU.912.H.2.4 Analyze current musical trends, including audience environments and music acquisition, to predict possible directions of music. Analyze the evolution of a music genre. Examine the effects of developing technology on composition, performance, and acquisition of music.
Connections among the arts and other disciplines strengthen learning and the ability to transfer knowledge and skills to and from other fields. MU.912.H.3.1 Apply knowledge of science, math, and music to demonstrate, through an acoustic or digital performance medium, how sound production affects musical performance. INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY, and the FUTURE: Curiosity, creativity, and the challenges of artistic problems drive innovation and adaptation of new and emerging technologies. Creating, interpreting, and responding in the arts stimulate the imagination and encourage innovation and creative risk-taking. MU.912.F.1.1 Analyze and evaluate the effect of "traditional" and contemporary technologies on the development of music. Careers in and related to the arts significantly and positively impact local and global economies. MU.912.F.2.1 Design or refine a résumé for application to higher education or the workforce that highlights marketable skills and knowledge gained through music training. MU.912.F.2.2 Analyze the effect of the arts and entertainment industry on the economic and social health of communities and regions. MU.912.F.2.3 Compare the organizational structure of a professional orchestra, chorus, quintet, or other ensemble to that of a business. The 21st-century skills necessary for success as citizens, workers, and leaders in a global economy are embedded in the study of the arts. MU.912.F.3.1 Analyze and describe how meeting one's responsibilities in music offers opportunities to develop leadership skills, and identify personal examples of leadership in school and/or non-school settings. MU.912.F.3.2 Summarize copyright laws that govern printed, recorded, and on-line music to promote legal and responsible use of intellectual property and technology. MU.912.F.3.3 Define, prioritize, monitor, and successfully complete tasks related to individual musical performance or project presentation, without direct oversight, demonstrating skills for use in the workplace.
