Two Activities for Students

1- Students can choose their favorite composer from the pieces we're playing in band and do a research paper on the history of the person. They can use Microsoft Word type up their findings and use the clip art function to add a picture of the composer. They can also use the formatting options to create a bibliography for their paper.

2- The students can use Microsoft Word to create a timeline documenting the different styles and composers in music history. Students can turn their page setup to landscape mode and then use the drawing tools to create a basic timeline. Using text boxes, they can then add important dates and information to create their timeline.
