Group work
Estimated Time: 15-20 minutes
 let students gather information and answer
question on worksheet
 each student write down question and answer to
be ready to share with class at the end
 if students are done earlier in their groups give
them worksheet so they don’t disturb other
students with work
Additional worksheet
• If extra time or students get done faster, they can work on
worksheet, so they don’t disturb other students
• They can pick between Beethoven and Mozart worksheet
Checking answers
Estimated Time: 10- 15 minutes

loud

has the same material

can focus on research

listening activity
