Versus
Side-by-side comparisons that clarify common mistakes
"I want you to compare the key signature in number, uuumm, 23 on page, where was it.. (flip flip), ah ha, pg 7 with the, uuuhh (flip flip), key... signature... (flip flip) on, ummm, (flip flip) oh here it is, number 76 on page 16..."
-- Beginning Band Teacher (trying to teach the difference between concert B flat and E flat key signatures)
The "Versus" line of worksheets are designed to to be stand-alone supplemental exercises to the "Let's Play In Band" method series. The unique layout allows for a clear side-by-side comparison of two commonly mistaken concepts, avoiding unnecessary clutter. Each worksheet starts with a thorough introduction of the two concepts being compared, applies the concepts in their basic form, and slowly progress to extended thinking levels. Your administrator will appreciate this use of Webb's Depth of Knowledge in your classroom.
