You will be working in groups of 3 or 4. • It’s up to you to decide who does which Role and who researches which Family. DIGITAL SPECIALIST: This role is in charge of creating your groups slides in PowerPoint, including graphics from the Navigator but NOT transitions. Researching instruments from one family is also a part of this role.
You will be working in groups of 3 or 4. • It’s up to you to decide who does which Role and who researches which family. EDITOR IN CHIEF: This person will make sure the group is staying on task. After the Digital Specialist has edited the PowerPoint presentation’s appearance, they will proofread the slides for spelling, punctuation and grammar. They will also research instruments from one family.
Use the resource links: • I’ve given you various “links” to find your materials. PLEASE only use these links when doing research. • Do not click on “links” of “links.”
Intro & About this student: • Create a slide about WHY you are doing this project. What’s the problem or situation? • Then tell us about your student. Tell us their name and characteristics about them. (You can type exactly what I said about them.)
Instrument Family Slides • To receive the most points, be sure to have 16 facts. That’s one per instrument. (You will need more though to determine if this instrument is a good choice for your student.)
So . . . Which IS better & why? • Use the next slide or two to tell us which instrument might be a good choice for this student and why.
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 & colors, AFTER you have the information.
Just like this! • This PowerPoint has transitions that you may use! It also has more than 4 graphics. • This PowerPoint has a Title page with credits @ the end. [Criteria for an “A”]
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.
Work from home? • Sure! (If you want to . . .) • You can always access the Instrument WebQuest on the internet and write down your information on a separate paper. Then bring that information to school! Be sure to give the papers to the SCRIBE.
Presentation: • Following your presentation, all students should be prepared to answer the following: • What did you learn about one of the instruments or instrument families that surprised you or was most interesting?
Congratulations! • Hopefully you learned some things about various instruments and their qualities! • I hope you enjoy this in-school project. • 21st Century Skills: Working on teams, making connections, using technology & communicating.
