Excerpt from the Book
Elicit
To draw a response from all the students the teacher will present the topic on the board - 1600-1750 with the intention of students identifying the Baroque period. They will note from their understanding previously that ornamentation was important. Composers decorated their melodies further, like decorating a cake. The importance of when you think Baroque, you think “grand”, the “pearl shape” that was iconic and most prominent in the “Palace of Versailles”.
Summary of Chapters
Lesson Objectives: Outlines the specific goals for students, including historical understanding of the Baroque period and the application of music technology.
Using Bloom's taxonomy: Describes how the cognitive levels of learning are applied to facilitate student progression from remembering facts to creating original compositions.
Elicit: Details the introductory phase designed to prompt students' prior knowledge regarding the 1600-1750 musical timeframe.
Engage: Explains the use of interactive starter activities, such as instrumental identification, to boost student interest and cooperation.
Explore: Focuses on guided reading and comprehension activities to deepen the students' understanding of Baroque instrumentation, specifically the Basso continuo.
Explain: Describes how the teacher clarifies key concepts and vocabulary, such as the term "extravagant," to ensure conceptual mastery.
Elaborate: Discusses the differentiation strategies used for English as Additional Language (EAL) and Gifted and Talented (G & T) students to deepen their understanding of musical terminology.
Extend: Covers the hands-on application where students plan their own Baroque-style compositions, including harmonic modulation.
Evaluate: Highlights the reflection process and formative assessment methods, such as peer presentations, to consolidate the learning experience.
Conclusion: Summarizes how the 7-E model effectively promotes engagement, interaction, and meaningful learning outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary focus of this paper?
The paper focuses on enhancing music lesson planning by utilizing the 7-E instructional model to improve student engagement and creativity in the classroom.
What are the central thematic fields discussed?
The core themes include STEAM education, curriculum development in international schools, pedagogical models like the 7-E framework, and the use of technology in music education.
What is the main research objective?
The goal is to demonstrate how structured lesson planning and active teaching models can make learning experiences more exciting, fun, and meaningful for secondary level students.
Which scientific or pedagogical methods are employed?
The study utilizes the 7-E instructional model (Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Extend, Evaluate) and incorporates Bloom's Taxonomy to structure cognitive learning steps.
What is the primary content of the main chapters?
The chapters detail the systematic application of the 7-E model to a Baroque music history lesson, covering everything from initial engagement activities to final composition and peer evaluation.
Which keywords characterize the work?
Key terms include Arts, Curriculum, Engineering, Innovation, Science, Technology, Baroque Music, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Music Technology.
How does the model apply to EAL learners?
The "Elaborate" phase specifically uses differentiation strategies where EAL students are encouraged to explain concepts and construct sentences using the new vocabulary in their own way.
What role does technology play in the classroom described?
Technology serves as a tool for creating music, with students using software like Musescore and GarageBand to input and record their compositions, thereby enhancing their 21st-century skills.
Why is "reflection" considered a critical part of the process?
Reflection is seen as the most important educational component because it allows students to process challenges encountered during composition and share their specific learning experiences with peers.
How are Gifted and Talented students challenged?
G & T students are tasked with taking information to an advanced level, applying specific musical terminology and vocabularies to discuss nuances like the construction of period-accurate violin bows.
