Introduction to the Baroque

In 2 ESO, we have just started talking about the Baroque. After a quick brainstorm about the concept, we used this video as a "fast and friendly" introduction to the period.

Before watching the video students tried to match numbers and letters on the following activity: click to download. They were able to match some of them without any help but it was much easier once they, first, listened to the video and then watched it.

Once they understood all the concepts properly they were able to explain and relate most of the terms that appear on this word cloud (it was created with Tagxedo from the key words used on the video) and that's how we started the second lesson.

Thank you to Classic FM for this series of videos (even though Monteverdi's Orfeo was first performed in 1607 and not in 1609)
