15 Lesson Plans For Making Students Better Online Researchers
Google is usually one of the first places students turn to when tasked with an assignment. Whether it’s for research, real-time results, or just a little digital exploration … it’s important they know how to properly Google. Lucky for teachers (and students, of course), Google has a handy set of lesson plans that are just waiting to be unleashed upon the leaders of tomorrow. While I understand there’s a LOT more to research than just Googling, it’s important to note that this is where nearly all students start their research. Below are 15 lesson plans courtesy of Google designed to make students better online researchers.

GuitarWavs Songwriting Tips The following document covers the fundementals of chord progressions. This knowledge can be used as a basis to create songs from loops. There are seven chords in a major key. An important variation is to change the tonal center. Here are examples of common chord progressions. Common (minor key) progressions using the 6 chord as the tonal center are 6,5,4,5, and 6, 4, 5, 5, and 6, 4, 1, 5 Common progressions using the 5 chord as the tonal center are 5, 4, 1, 5 and 5, 1, 2, 1. Common progressions using the 2 as the tonal center are 2, 5 and 2, 4, 1, 5. The most common chord progression in jazz is 2, 5, 1. The most common durations for chord progressions are 2 beats per chord, 1 bar per chord, or 2 bars per chord. A fact that is very important to all musical styles is that the 5 chord in a major key leads strongly back to the 1 chord. The verse and chorus of a song do not have to be in the same key.
