Carry on my Wayward Son, Kansas - BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you a throwback to the 1970s with Kansas' hit tune "Carry on my Wayward Son" for BUCKET DRUMMING!
There are ten (yes ten!) color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats. Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
This is a long one (5.5minute song) so it may take a little while to get through, but with most of the sections repeating and with some work over time, it'll surely be a hit!
The background track can be found below:

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in some advanced bucket drumming with Twisted Sister's smash hit from 1984, "We're not Gonna Take it"!
There are seven all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated in groups of 3 times + 1 time). Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
Here's the track so you can play along...

This is a lengthy one as it's 7 pages, but totally achievable! Have your upper elementary kids or even middle schoolers and high schoolers step up to the challenge to take on the whole thing ;)

There are five color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 times). Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
This one is great to work on 16th note triplets -- work on those alternating hands! :D

NEW! Geography, History, 9-11 We Remember, World Trade Center, Patriot Day
By Geography & Math Made Easy
IMPORTANT: Give students the option to choose not to participate in this lesson if they are anyway connected to the event. Let them know in advance earlier in the week prior to the day of the lesson and allow them to come to you in confidentiality if they wish not to participate. Make another arrangement for that student for the one class period.
This is a factual lesson and does not ask students to imagine or place themselves in others' shoes, yet if a child had a family member or experienced the event his/herself, you may not want to subject them to ANY lesson on this topic. This lesson gives a timeline of events and facts about the event.
ALSO NOTE: The closing activity incorporates a song by the Beastie Boys: "Listen, All You New Yorkers" which was written after 9/11 as a Love Letter to New York. (Look it up on Youtube) Depending on your classroom/school culture, you may or may not choose to use this. This is not mandatory for the lesson, but song and music is a good way to engage students. In saying this, the lyrics included in the lesson have been rewritten to take out questionable wording/content. i.e. LSD, Porno, Hell. These words have been replaced with other words. However, the words cannot be taken out of the Youtube video or song. The lyrics can be used without the video or song, but will not be as effective. IMPORTANT: YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SONG PRIOR TO PURCHASE as this song may not be appropriate for all students/classes/schools. You as the educator are responsible for gaging what is appropriate for your students and are responsible for what is presented to them.
THIS LESSON CAN BE USED WITHOUT THE SONG as it is the closing activity.
OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will become familiar with the events that lead to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York

MATERIALS:
o Student group reading assignment included.
o Copy of Lyrics to Listen, All You New Yorkers (included) Rewritten into a cleaner version to replace words like: hell, LSD, Porno, etc.
o Suggested YouTube video for viewing (or) YouTube or Spotify audio version.
Please note that links often change. If this happens, please type in the title of the video in a search engine or on You-
Tube; it should easily be located. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around this issue. Please watch and use your discernment
on the appropriateness of the presentation for your students, their experiences, and their maturity levels.
o Technology to play the song or show the video.
o Index cards for the “Question Cards” for the reading assignment.
THIS LESSON INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Guide
