This document outlines a music appreciation lesson plan for introducing high school students to opera. The plan involves exposing students to opera through videos and listening examples over the course of a week. Each day focuses on a different activity, like watching introductory videos, participating in group discussions, and giving individual presentations. Technology like iTunes and YouTube will be used to expose students to opera in a familiar format. The goal is for students to actively listen to, describe, and critically review operatic music with 100% accuracy by the end of the week.
