The Very Hungry Caterpillar

By: Eric Carle

Form is the way a song or piece of music is planned out or structured.

A- Section 1 B- Section 2 (New part of music) C- Section 3 (New music)

What is Form?

I'm a very hungry caterpillar crawling around eating everything in sight that can be found.I'm weaving a cocoon on a good size twig and I'm starting to get real big.

I'm eating so much you can hear me chew.Chomp, chomp, chomp's all I want to do so much that I just can't stop.I'm afraid that I might pop! POP

I'm a butterfly flying about.I'm beautiful, I want to twist and shout. HEY!A butterfly, it's a brand new day and I still hear my little friends say:

I'm a very hungry caterpillar crawling around, I'm a butterfly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-gNaNOWdg8
