Instructional Procedures: Days One through Seven (Science Class) Products to Solve Problems Students design inventions to solve everyday problems. See the eighth-grade science lesson, Products to Solve a Problem. Day Eight (Music Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 1. Discuss with students the definition of a jingle. 2. Ask students to sing or speak the lyrics for some popular jingles. 3. Discuss that marketing a product requires the services of people in many different occupations but dont mention specific occupations until after the pre-assessment is completed. 4. Distribute Attachment A, Jingle Pre-Assessment, to students. Have students complete this attachment at home. It may require as long as one week to complete. Instructional Tips: If students will be creating their own commercials in drama or English, use only television jingles, not radio jingles. Show students a video or DVD of the Addy Awards for the best commercials. There are also nostalgic videos and DVDs of the commercials that were shown on television in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Day Nine (Music Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 5. Discuss the responses to Attachment A, Jingle Pre-Assessment. Use Attachment B, PreAssessment Discussion Topics, to guide a class discussion about the definition of a jingle, what makes a jingle effective and what occupations are required to create a commercial. 6. Have students use the products they developed in science class to complete Attachment C, Worksheet for Lyric Development. If this lesson is being taught separately from the unit, have students write lyrics for their own imaginary products. 7. Divide students into groups of four. Have each group choose a product developed by one of the group members that it will use to compose the jingle, create the commercial and design the packaging. Instructional Tip: Students may choose the same commercials on the pre-assessment. As part of the class discussion, you may graph the frequency of commercials the students listed on Attachment A. The graphs could be completed in mathematics class.

Day 10 (Music Class or English Language Arts Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 8. Distribute Attachment C, Worksheet for Lyric Development, to each group. 9. Tell group members to work together to complete Attachment C, Worksheet for Lyric Development. 10. Collect Attachment C and assess using the percentages included on the worksheet. Instructional Tip: Attachment C, Worksheet for Lyric Development, may be completed in music class only and may be assessed by the music teacher, English language arts teacher or both. Day 11 (Music Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 11. Once you have approved the lyrics, group members may work together at a keyboard or piano to create original, catchy melodies for their jingles. 12. Monitor students as they work to ensure that each student is participating. 13. Tell students that they must notate their jingle. If students do not know how to use traditional music notation, they may use invented notation. 14. Have students use the notes they took during the pre-assessment discussion and the definition of an effective jingle to determine if their melodies are effective. 15. Listen to each group as it finishes to determine if the group is headed in the right direction. Instructional Tip: If keyboards are not available for each group, use other pitched instruments or voices. This step may take more than one class period. Day 12 (Music Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 16. Once you approve the melody, group members work together to create accompaniments for their jingles. 17. Monitor students as they work to ensure that each student is participating. 18. Listen to each group as it finishes to determine if the group is headed in the right direction. Instructional Tips: Accompaniments can be created on the keyboard or alternative musical instruments such as drums, wind instruments or classroom percussion instruments. This day may be eliminated if time is short or students lack the ability to handle the assignment.

Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells Grade Eight Interdisciplinary Unit

Day 13 (Music Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 19. Groups take turns recording their jingles. All members of the group must participate by either singing or playing. Instructional Tips: Students may need a class period to practice before they record their jingles. If groups are creating commercials in drama, they can use their jingles in the commercials. Since students are required to write comparison essays, it is highly recommended that the art, mathematics and drama portions of this unit be taught at the same time as the music portion. The students can complete these portions after they have written their jingles. Day Nine (Art Class) 20. In the same groups and with the same products that they are using to compose their jingles, have students develop packages for their products. 21. Discuss the criteria for good three-dimensional design using Attachment E, Rubric for Product Packaging Assessment. 22. Have students use tag board or cardboard to make containers for their products. Have students begin by drawing two-dimensional representations, which they fold into threedimensional packages. In mathematics, this two-dimensional representation is called a net. 23. Collect the two-dimensional representations if they will be used in mathematics. Day 10 (Math Class) Using Nets to Find Surface Area Students learn to find surface area and then use their two-dimensional representations (net) to determine surface area of their packaging. See the eighth-grade math lesson Using Nets to Find Surface Area. Day 11 (Art Class) 24. Instruct groups to cut out their two-dimensional representations, turn them over and begin designing the outsides of the packaging. 25. Tell groups to fold the two-dimensional representations to make three-dimensional packages for their products. Day Eight through 13 (Drama Class) Persuading by Design Have students create commercials to advertise their products. See the eighth-grade artsdrama-theater lesson, Persuading by Design.

Day 14 (English Language Arts Class) Jingle Sells, Jingle Sells 26. Tell students to write four-paragraph essays that compare and contrast the arts roles they have assumed during this unit. a. Students write introductory paragraphs summarizing the process they used to market their products. b. Using vocabulary from each fine arts area, students write one paragraph for each fine arts role they have assumed during this lesson (i.e., one paragraph about composing a jingle, one paragraph about designing packaging and one paragraph about producing, creating and directing a commercial). c. The final paragraph must compare and contrast the three different roles. 27. Collect the four-paragraph essays. These essays can be assessed using Attachment F, Holistic Rubric for the Ohio Graduation Test or any other writing rubric. Instructional Tip: If you are a music teacher who is teaching this lesson alone, students could write shorter essays comparing and contrasting only the art and music roles. The following areas are written for music, art and English language arts. These same areas are addressed in Products to Solve Problems in science, Using Nets to Find Surface Area in math and Persuading By Design in drama-theater. Differentiated Instructional Support: Instruction is differentiated according to learner needs, to help all learners either meet the intent of the specified indicator(s) or, if the indicator is already met, to advance beyond the specified indicator(s). Students may use traditional or invented music notation. Students may create melodies only, without adding accompaniments. Students can identify two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects either visually, orally or in writing. Extensions: Invite an executive from an advertising agency to speak with the students about jingles. Create focus groups to review the original commercials and jingles. Take a field trip to a radio station or television station. Take a field trip to a production studio. In urban areas, most commercials are filmed at production studios rather than at television stations. Home Connections: See Attachment A, Jingle Pre-Assessment. Have students interview parents and family members to see if jingles and packaging influence which products they purchase.
