This document provides instructions for a student project on music history. Students will research four composers - Bach, Debussy, Hendrix, and themselves - and create a PowerPoint presentation covering each composer's dates, musical period, contributions, and analysis of one of their pieces. Students will work in groups, with each student focusing on different aspects of each composer's history and music. They will then combine their research into the group presentation. Sources for researching each composer are provided.

Is it single disciplinary, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary or what? If students are divided into groups, provide guidelines on how you might do that.

Is it easy enough for a novice teacher? Does it require some experience with directing debates or role plays, for example? If you're designing for a one-computer classroom or for pre-readers and are creating a facilitated WebQuest in which the teacher or an aide controls the computer and guides discussion, you can link from here to the Teacher Script page which would contain a printable script for the facilitator to follow.
