Introduction	Hey I'm Garrett and I will be teaching you guys about blues guitar today so before I begin can I just get some some people to list a few blues guitarists for me. (Something along those lines)	Goal: 20 min	Three Important Sources 1. My guitar teacher 2. My service learning guy 3. A book that talks about blues guitarists
Verification (Steps to check for student understanding)	Ok so since I'm gonna be talking about blues guitar or just the blues in general I will ask to see if they know any blues artists and why they think that the blues is so recognizable. And at the end I will see if they can list the 12 bar blues that I went over.	2 min
Body (Give and/or demonstrate necessary information)	Ok so I will go over the 12 bar blues and the chord progression that I've learned with it. I will also show a basic solo and go over other aspects of the blues guitar/ blues music in general. Literal: Basic 12 bar blues Interpretive: Being able to play with other musicians using the blues as a language Applied: I really like the blues and want to be a blues guitarist someday	Literal: 5 min Interp: 5 min Applied: 1 min	Visuals I will have a poster board with diagrams on it.
Activity (Describe the independent activity to reinforce this lesson)	What is the activity: Well since a lot of blues guitarists sing as well as play I will play a backing track and have the students try to make up lyrics and stay with the beat. How it will be done: I will play the backing track and give the students some paper and have them try to write lyrics.	5 min	Materials I will need a stereo and probably some paper.
