This is a melody map for the chorus of "He Lives Again."
 
How to use this map:
 
1) Pint (if I have a big group, I like to print "poster-size" with 4 sheets of paper per page). Affix to board out of order.
 
2) Ask the children: What do you see?  What do you wonder?  What is the same?  What is different?  
 
3) Challenge the children to figure out what the map has to do with the song.  Sing the song.  Ask the children what they learned.  If they are still figuring it out, sing the song again, tapping a few key notes on the board.  Ask the children to help you put it in the correct order.
 
4) Challenge the children to figure out what each symbol represents.  Sing the song again.  Collect their answers and offer praise.  Repeat until they have learned all of the symbols. 
 
5) Ask them how many times the chorus sings, "Gloria!"  Collect answers, check work, offer praise.
 
6) Challenge the children to sing only the "Glorias" while you sing the rest of the chorus.  Challenge the children to sing the rest of the song while you sing the "Glorias."
 
**If I were to use this with a younger group, I would keep the maps in the correct order and only go until step 4.
