This is a WebQuest about the life of Ludwig van Beethoven created by Jeff Steurer, a teacher in Woodstock CUSD 200 in Illinois. The activity is designed for use with a 5th grade class and also includes a presentation rubric and a lesson template. Students will get an overview of the life of Beethoven so that they can start to think about a piece that they would like to study chosen from a suggested list. In the study, they will work in a group to learn about the form, mood, musical elements involved, and other musical characteristics (e.g., style/historical aspects) observable in Beethoven s music by attempting to understand why Beethoven might have written the piece. At the end of their study, they will present orally and visually to the class. Beethoven, music, composer
