\"\"<\/a>For the commencement of The Great Music Dig’ theme, I decided to write up a brief outline for my students outlining the theme.\u00a0 I provided\u00a0 a brief explanation of an archaeology dig site and a description of some of the tools archaeologists might use.\u00a0 I then likened the archaeology dig site tools to the ones we use to make the notes on our pages more interesting.<\/p>\n

Each student received the following:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A handout of the explanation of the archaeology dig site and tools they use.<\/li>\n
  2. Their own Archaeology File (a manila folder with a cover glued on and their name written on the outside)<\/li>\n
  3. This term’s newsletter from me.<\/li>\n
  4. Most students received a Halloween themed challenge for homework as well as their usual assignment of pieces\/scales\/exercises etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I printed out pictures\u00a0of the archaeology tools, laminated them and put them up on a whiteboard in my studio so I could ask the students to identify any tools they recognised and to tell me what they thought archaeologists might use them for.\u00a0 Then we\u00a0identified music tools on the pieces they were working on.\u00a0 It was a great way to do general knowledge revision.\u00a0 I don’t have a\u00a0file copy of the\u00a0archaeology tools though – but free clip art\u00a0sites would be great for you to use for this purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
