Composer Interactive Staggered Style Digital Worksheet

Challenged for time or struggling with distance/remote learning? What about using technology? This digital version (via Google Slides) will be a wonderful assignment for your students and can be used with, for and about ANY composer. Students simply type in the info, insert an image and/or video. Not used to Google Classroom? I’ve got you covered with a 10 page How-To Guide to get you up and running in no time.  Take a glimpse here.

*Please note this is a digital download and you need a Google account to access this material. An additional movie has been added to show you how to deal with problematic hyperlinks – you’ll want to check these after you’ve deleted the slides you don’t want but before you assign each student a copy.

Students can do online research pertaining to the following….

1. Red page includes composer name
2. Orange page includes country, inserting an image of the flag or a map of the country and birth/death dates
3. Yellow page asks for students to insert at least 2 images pertaining to the composer (suggestions to students are included)
4. Green page asks for students to incude facts (you choose how many), styles/genres composer wrote for, and either the time period or instruments the composer played (you select the version you wish to use with your students)
5. Blue page asks for students to include the title of a song and rate it. Five versions of this page are included so you can choose to also have them a) include a URL of a song or insert a video of the song. (You could feasibly use that and insert a specific video for your students to watch/rate.), b) instruments they hear playing and dynamics, c) instruments they hear playing and tempo, d) instruments they hear playing and style/genre of the song and f) instruments they hear playing and both dynamics and tempo.
