Answer:
Melody
Identify the following ways that each part of the round melody are made distinct from each other so that they sound independent even when sung together.
Contour: Ask children if they can find the ascending melody and the descending melody.
(First half has an ascending contour and the second half has a descending contour.)
Motion: The first half of the melody is entirely conjunct, while the second half introduces disjunct motion. Show this to students or have them identify this pattern in the motion.
Repetition: Have students point to the repeated notes in the music.
The first half has fewer repeated notes while the second half has a characteristic triple repeat pattern.
Meter: Identify the number of beats per measure (there are two). Identify the subdivision as simple or compound. (It is compound meaning that the beat is sub-divided into groups of three)
