BAROQUE SPOTIFY LIST







Shared by Mariela Rodríguez for 3rd Year ESO:


Topic: the Baroque period in music.

The activity is structured in two parts, and they are going to work in couples (it’s a small group of 17 students).

In the first part, they are going to create a poster of a chosen Baroque composer in an online program named canva. This program is a great tool and has many free templates to create flyers, cards and posters. The poster needs to catch the attention like an ad, because they are going to use it as an image for a Spotify playlist.

In the second part they are going to research about their chosen composer and his/her music, to have enough information to make a Top five Spotify playlist and a short verbal presentation. The outlines of the presentation are as follows:

1.   Brief description of the composer's biography: Ex. Date and place of birth, professional development, any other information you consider relevant (including gossip).

2.   ‘Sell it’. Examples: Why his/her music was successful in the Baroque period? Why is he or she  one of the most well known composers of our time? Why is his/her music so appealing?

3.   Show us the composer top five. Show us the Spotify list you’ve created with the top five music pieces of the composer. Specially justify the music you’ve chosen as number one….

To prepare a successful presentation, it could be useful to give them keywords that could help them to describe and explain their subject. I’d rather prefer to do that while assessing their work in class. They need a lot of assistance to do this kind of several steps activity, so I think it’s the best option in this case.
Here are some links to the resources I use in this activity.
