  6. Work with a partner . . .(groups of 2 or 3 if we have odd #) • Determine roles & duties: • Ex. Someone can get the composer facts & the other person can get the history facts. • One person types & other person does the main speaking @ the presentation.

  7. COMPOSER CHOICES: • Johann Sebastian Bach • George Frideric Handel • Ludwig van Beethoven • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart • Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky • Johannes Brahms • John Philip Sousa • Aaron Copland

  8. Decide on a composer: • Do a quick search about all of the composers and decide on the composer you would like to research more or which Era (Time Period) you think would be interesting. [You need to convince the people in “Facebook” that this composer IS the greatest in their time! You’ll read my project idea in the WebQuest.] • NOTICE HOW THIS SLIDE HAS TOO MANY WORDS!

  9. Use the resource links: • I’ve given you various “links” to find your materials. PLEASE only use these links when doing research. • I have also given you “links” in my credits. You may use these other “projects” from other teachers to find appropriate material or graphics.

  10. History then Biography: • Your slide presentation should first include material about what was happening during that era or unique situations. • Once you’ve set up the “times,” you can continue with the Biography about your composer! Tell us about him.

  11. Create your PowerPoint: • Be sure to follow the Rubric (Assessment) • There are specific guidelines for creating this presentation. • Make the presentation “fun” with special effects - transitions, AFTER you have the information.

  12. Just like this! • This PowerPoint transitions that you may use! It also more than 3 graphics. • This PowerPoint also has a Title page with a graphic and credits @ the end. • Notice how some of the slide backgrounds are different colors with other changes too!

  13. Adding a “music link:” • Notice how I copied and pasted the website link onto this page. • During your presentation, you can click on the link and play a short excerpt of music! • http://www.dsokids.com/listen/ComposerDetail.aspx?composerID=43

  14. Timeline for working: • 2 Music classes for “research” • 2 Music classes for “creating” • 2 Music classes for “presenting” the final project. Your projects will be gathered and put on my computer.

  15. Work from home? • Sure! Just write down the information on paper and bring it to school to look from or copy onto your worksheet! • Remember you can access both my WebQuest and PowerPoint from any computer.

  16. Presentation: • Following your presentation, all students should be prepared to answer the following: • Why did you choose this composer? Was it the time period or something about his life? • What did you learn about your Time Period & composer that surprised you?

  17. Congratulations! • Hopefully you learned some things about a “Great” Composer and their Era in time! • I hope you enjoy this in-school project. • 21st Century Skills: Working on teams, making connections, using technology & communicating.

  18. Credits: • All material taken from and related to WebQuest for 5th Grade @ Mr. Turner’s website. • You would copy & paste other website links that you used on this page. • http://www.d70schools.org/jturner/composerwebquest/Introduction.html
