Lesson Content

Steps in Producing Mosaic: Concept of Rhythm

Rhythm is the pattern of long and short sounds in music. It is what makes music feel alive and organized.

Steps in Producing a Mosaic:

Choose a design: Decide on the pattern or picture you want to create.
Prepare materials: Collect colored paper, tiles, or other materials, and cut them into small pieces.
Outline the design: Draw your chosen design on a plain sheet of paper.
Glue the pieces: Place glue on the outlined areas and stick the colored pieces one by one.
Finalize the mosaic: Allow it to dry and review for any gaps or uneven pieces.

Rhythm in Music:

Long notes and short notes combine to form a rhythm.
For example, clapping a “long-short-short” pattern creates a rhythm.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Define rhythm in their own words.

List the steps in producing a mosaic.
Clap a simple rhythmic pattern demonstrated by the teacher.
Explain why rhythm is important in music.
Share one thing they learned about mosaics.
