Procedures: (all sections consist of clearly stated sequential steps)
I. Introduction (The Launch) I will ask the students if they recognize the music that is being played. (The Entertainer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSpoVH0c-Dw
I will expect the students to respond with yes that’s the ice cream truck song. I would go on to explain that this song is one of many songs written by Scott Joplin and is part of a music style known as ragtime.

Ragtime pieces came in a number of different styles during the years of its popularity and appeared under a number of different descriptive names. It is related to several earlier styles of music, has close ties with later styles of music, and was associated with a few musical "fads" of the period such as the foxtrot. Many of the terms associated with ragtime have inexact definitions, and are defined differently by different experts; the definitions are muddled further by the fact that publishers often labeled pieces for the fad of the moment rather than the true style of the composition. There is even disagreement about the term "ragtime" itself; experts such as David Jasen and Trebor Tichenorchoose to exclude ragtime songs from the definition but include novelty piano and stride piano (a modern perspective), while Edward A.

A modest number of rags are slow drags.
• Coon song – a pre-ragtime vocal form popular until about 1901. A song with crude, racist lyrics often sung by white performers in blackface. Gradually died out in favor of the ragtime song. Strongly associated with ragtime in its day, it is one of the things that gave ragtime a bad name.
• Ragtime song – the vocal form of ragtime, more generic in theme than the coon song. Though this was the form of music most commonly considered "ragtime" in its day, many people today prefer to put it in the "popular music" category. Irving Berlin was the most commercially successful composer of ragtime songs, and his "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (1911) was the single most widely performed and recorded piece of this sort, even though it contains virtually no ragtime syncopation. Gene Greene was a famous singer in this style.
• Folk ragtime – a name often used to describe ragtime that originated from small towns or assembled from folk strains, or at least sounded as if they did. Folk rags often have unusual chromatic features typical of composers with non-standard training.
• Classic rag – a name used to describe the Missouri-style ragtime popularized by Scott Joplin, James Scott, and
