Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Each Lakeview 5th grader will build his or her own dulcimer. 2. Each Lakeview 5th grader will learn how to play his or her own dulcimer. 3. The Lakeview 5th grade class will perform on their dulcimers at a concert. 4. The Lakeview 5th grade class will learn more about Scandinavian music. 5. The Lakeview 5th grade class will collaborate with the Yellow Medicine East 4th grade class playing the dulcimer and learning about Scandinavian music. The first three goals are fairly easy to measure. Either the student was or was not able to build the dulcimer, and was or was not able to play the dulcimer. The fourth and fifth goals will be measured by teacher observation, and class discussion.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We discussed the project as a class. We performed around the school, at the local nursing home, and in a recital for the parents which was posted on the web site. Each student was successful in building a dulcimer and learning to play a few songs.
