developed.

that are bolded about the composer.

they can actively participate. Pause after each section to allow students to
ask questions.

Mix and Match: First demonstrate how to do the Mix and Match Game,
then ask a student to demonstrate an example while giving them a hint
(what instrument did they play, what were they known for, etc...), then give
1 minute to complete the rest of the mic and match activity.

 New Orleans - Think Aloud Examples

"There are a couple of instruments that I hear, it sounds like the

trumpet, saxophone and even the clarinet."

"It doesn't sound like there are too many instruments in this band,
maybe 5 or 6"

"There seems to be some improvisation between multiple instruments,

so collaborative improvisation"

"Louis Armstrong is featured in this song so that would put it probably

in New Orleans Jazz"

"You can definitely dance to this song"

 Swing Jazz - Providing Prompts - allow students to answer in the chat or

out loud.

"Who is singing? What jazz era is she from?"

"Look at the band, how many people are there? Is it a small or big
band?"

"Can you dance to this song?"

"Does the band sound like its be pre-arranged or are they all
improvising?"

 Ragtime - Collaboration Board

Allow students to collaborate together by giving them a chance to give

ONE observation of the style. Indicate later after everyone gives in their
observations you will all choose what type of Jazz era this is an example
of. Possible answers:

"A piano is only playing"

"Scott Joplin is from the Ragtime Era"

"Its in Duple Time"
