Introductory quick online quiz: http://www.classicsforkids.com/shows/showdesc.asp?id=17 Short online assessment after listening to a radio show: http://bangertmusic.tripod.com/musicatbangert/id48.html || Create a post card as if written by Tchaikovsky to a friend back home, relating his experience in New York. http://bangertmusic.tripod.com/musicatbangert/id53.html This could be created in a variety of ways: ---by hand -- by using a Web 2.0 tool such as Sketchpad --by using Software such as Kid Pix or Pencil ||
 * ** Formative Assessment(s) ** || ** Summative Assessment ** ||
 * (self-administered with teacher observation)

The students will be asked to do an online webquest activity. Students will be navigating various websites and pages within those websites. They will be working in pairs, discussing their findings with each other as the lesson progresses.
 * ** Student Learning Activity ** ||
 * ** What will students be asked to do? **

Students will be actively involved in searching out knowledge about Tchaikovsky's life and music. They will explore the relationship between culture and music.
 * How might this be framed as an inquiry based situation? **

Students will be collaborating as they discover real-life connections in their explorations. These connections might include concert/symphony experiences or travel experiences. They will reflect on what they have discovered as they produce the postcard for evaluation. This postcard will bring their experience into a real-world situation as well for the student. There will be a variety of acceptable, interpretations for this final project, reflecting the student's interpretation of their research and individual needs. || Tchaikovsky Web Quest: http://bangertmusic.tripod.com/musicatbangert/id48.html Class wiki page will contain additional resources for exploration as a means of differentiation. Final project might include online drawing resource such as Sketchpad. X__Online (requires a computer)__ _Offline (no computer required)

 * ** Classroom Configuration: **
 * _ ** Computers not needed - printable resource

Be sure there are enough headphones to go around and that they are working. ||

Students will be working in a lab environment in which the rules and procedures are familiar to them already. Directions will be posted to the Smart Board as students arrive for class **.** When we first begin the activity, whole group instruction will be used as an introduction. Students will be helping each other navigate the website as they work in partners. Instructor will circulate among the students, to be sure they are on task and to help when needed. || Notes: ||
 * ** F. How will I manage implementation? ** ||  ||
 * ** Classroom Management: **
 * General computer rules / procedures **
 * Specific directions for activity **
 * Helping Hands **
 * Other **

Hardware Supplemental Materials Other || ** Notes: ** There are listening selections involved in this webquest. Working speakers and headphones are very helpful!!! A good internet connection is also beneficial. Students need to be partnered who are compatible and work well together. ||
 * ** G. What additional considerations will support successful implementation? ** ||  ||
 * Software

Listening via cd or iPod to musical selections || Step 5 – Consider the bigger picture
 * ** Reflect on the learning activity. ** ||
 * Considerations: ||

 * PowerPoint presentation with similar information
 * ** How does this learning activity fit within your general curriculum to support student learning? ** ||
 * The technology curriculum includes proficiency in web navigation. The music curriculum is focusing on the connection between culture and music. I teach both of these classes, so this is a great activity! ||
 * ** In what ways can you tailor this activity to meet individual student learning needs? **** ||
 * I will pair students so that their strengths/weaknesses compliment each other. The final postcard project will be done individually, and allow for differentiation according to student needs. ||
