A useful start for Year 8 (and even Year 7) pupils into Classical music. The task is a comprehension with the document - students answer questions based on picking out information from within the comprehension. Pupils then summarise information from the questions to come up with 5 most important points about the Classical era. This is a document I'd re-worded from Wikipedia, adding and omitting bits where I saw fit. There are all kinds of things that can be added on such as more about instrument inventions, more composers, pieces of music etc. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

<p>Hello,</p> <p>This is a pretty large project that I created as I felt that students weren’t aware of the Baroque/Classical/Romantic Periods by the time they hit GCSE.</p> <p>This project contains 6 pieces (2 from each era) and includes piano music and guitar tab for each piece - everything is differentiated, with notes added on some resources to support students.</p> <p>There are investigation tasks for students to work together, questions to help them learn about the periods, Assessment tasks, Cover Work, An Assessment quiz and a whole bunch more.</p> <p>Every presentation is clear, well thought out and contains all videos and audio you will need.</p> <p>I am confident that this has everything you need to teach Key Stage 3 classes about these Periods and get them performing some great pieces of classical music. I have taught this with Year 9, but could be split over KS3.</p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
