 Recitation of Nursery Rhymes

During the course of this domain, find an opportunity to assess each

student’s ability to recite a nursery rhyme that has been taught, using

Instructional Master 3B-2. You may wish to review a few nursery rhymes

as a class using echo technique with motions.

Introducing “Hickory, Dickory, Dock”

• Tell students, “Tell your partner what you see in this picture.” Call on
  two partner pairs to describe.


• Tell students that this tall clock is called a grandfather clock. Ask if
  any students have ever seen this type of clock. Often, these clocks
  make a sound like a ringing bell at different times of the day that lets
  people know the time. It makes one “bong” for each hour.


• Ask students, “Does anyone see a clock in this room? Does the
  clock make noise like a grandfather clock? Do you have any clocks at
  home? Does anyone have a grandfather clock?”


• Tell students that the next nursery rhyme they are going to hear is
  called “Hickory, Dickory, Dock.”


• Ask students, “Who do you think is the character in this nursery
  rhyme?”
  
  
  • The mouse is the character in this nursery rhyme.
  
  
  
  


• Give students Response Card 13 (Hickory, Dickory, Dock) from
  Instructional Master 7A-1. Have them point out the character in this
  poem—the mouse. Have them identify the grandfather clock. Tell
  them to use this Response Card to refer to “Hickory, Dickory, Dock.”
