Researching and seeking at least three musical pieces or themes

Objective: Students will identify pieces of music or musical themes that were influenced by various people.

Activity: Students will form different groups of about 4 people each, this time with the task of researching and seeking at least three musical pieces or themes (preferably from different time periods or genres) that were influenced and/or inspired by a person whom the composer found significant. Students will then share their findings with others in the class.

Assessment: Are students working efficiently in groups and are they sharing the various tasks?
