Integration Idea

Orchestrating an OrchestraIn this WebQuest, students explore the various instruments that make up an orchestra, learning about their names and the sounds they make before sketching their own orchestra and deciding upon an instrument they would like to play.First of all, students will find out what an orchestra is.  Then will discover the different instruments that create an orchestra, see what they look like, and hear what they sound like.  After they have learned all about orchestra instruments, they will have an opportunity to hear some different orchestral pieces of music.At the end of this WebQuest, Students will produce a sketch of an orchestra, pointing out where they would like the various instruments to sit.  When they are finished with their sketch and feel comfortable with the orchestra, they will select the one instrument they would like to play and put their name in that spot in your orchestra.  On the back of the sketch, write a short paragraph of why they selected that particular instrument.  Turn in the sketch and paragraph to be graded (see the rubric for how the work will be assessed).  This website integrates he website called “dso kids” into the lesson about different orchestra instruments.  This web site includes pictures and audio clips for each instrument.
