The songs that Mr. Pettee performs are a part of the oral tradition of our southern heritage, (CR.1.1 & Social Studies, e.g., 2.C.2.1). • The Instruments: Mr. Pettee shares several traditional instruments with the children, (2.MR.1.4), as well as singing, and inviting them to clap and sing, (1.ML.1.3). Over the course of the show, he will describe and play 6-string acoustic guitar, 5-string banjo, 8-string mandolin, and harmonica. • The Songs (K-2.ML.1): Every show features some or all of the following songs: "The Wildwood Flower," "Oh, Suzanna," "The Old Grey Mare," "Old Joe Clark," "Amazing Grace," "Mole in the Ground," "Soldier's Joy," "Cluck Old Hen," "Cripple Creek," "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain," "This Little Light of Mine," and other great traditional southern songs/tunes. • On being a good audience (2.MR.1.3): This, and any special visiting programs, whether in the classroom, or in an assembly, provide a great opportunity for the children to learn proper audience behavior. Good audiences assemble in an orderly fashion, treat their guest with exemplary manners, pay attention, participate enthusiastically when invited to do so, and show appreciation with applause when appropriate. Following these simple matters of common courtesy brings out the best in your performer and creates an atmosphere in which all can have fun and learn. It is equally important that teachers not converse or grade papers during programs, as they are the example the children are following. 3rd-5t" Grade Students • The setting is 200 years ago, right where we are now, in NC, (or Virginia, or South Carolina...).
