The Little Soldier-Podcast

The Little Soldier
1. This lesson is intended to allow the students to experience an excerpt from the Christmas play that they will perform. The purpose is to convey the mood of scene three of the performance, and to help the performers grasp the idea of a climax in a performance.
2. The target audience will be the third fourth and fifth grade classes who will perform to play.
3. First, I write a script of the action taking place in scene three. Next, I will make selected slices of narration to be introduced into selected areas of the music. The music chosen is named FUM, FUM, FUM (4:51) from the CD entitled Christmas Extraordinaire By Mannheim Steamroller.

The NXT STEP - LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Blog

http://thenxtstep.blogspot.com/

This has the potential of becoming one of my favorite blog sites.  I'm introducing my students to the Lego league in hopes exposing them to other uses for the computer and hopefully build an interest in robotics.
