Inspiration 9 over our Smartboard, showing students how we can connect
the information we learn through research.
2. Showcase the Names of several composers which the students will
choose from.
3. Using our concept map, show students how it can then be turned
into an outline, which will construct our essay |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
1. Using Google search engine and our class musical encyclopedias,
let students begin gathering data on their composer and begin writing
out and constructing connections through post-it notes.
2. Allow students to delegate task among themselves and monitor that
everyone is doing his or her part.
3. Assist and encourage students with adding photos, audio, or video
to their concept maps |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Students can continue individual or group research outside of
school.
2. Encourage teams to collaborate with other teams where their composers
may have a connection to gather more info.
3. Prepare typed outlines and drafts for peer reviewing and editing
in class. |

music history professors in the area to ask questions.
2. Provide extra technology/software tutorials during study periods.
3. Allow students to use our school's library to gather extra resources. |

F. Checking for understanding-
1. Within their team, let students peer editing their work and check
for proper citation.
2. I will review work against our rubric to help given students ideas
of where they can do further research.
3. Ask each individual questions regarding their composer to ensure
that everyone is gaining new knowledge. |

G. Closure-
1. Let students present their Inspiration 9 concept map in class
on the Smartboard.
2. Each team will submit a Concept Map, typed Outline, and Essay with
proper citation. |

7. Evaluation-
|
1. Do students know the major composers of each Era?
2. Are students able to identify the Era and/or composer by listening
to a piece of work? |

8. Teacher Reflection-
|
How has the student's knowledge of Music History increased?
Are students more encouraged and/or inspired to research composers
for the pieces we work on in class?
Are students able to find connections of music techniques and styles
among composers and works? |
