Siku's Song Teaching Guide, book 2 in the Musical Tales for Modern Minds series, engages young learners with multicultural lesson plans and hands-on learning activities. Siku's Song and the companion music follow the young Peruvian alpaca, Siku, as she discovers a way to express herself, even if it means going against her family's long-held musical traditions. Students will find a piece of themselves in Siku as she stands up for what she believes in and learns how to blend tradition with innovation. Build melodies using literacy-based activities, explore simple music notation, and manipulate materials to reinforce the concepts. Activities are aligned to national core curriculum standards and integrate music, language arts, social studies, and visual art. Suggested for ages 4-7.
