• The following twelve slides are pictures of
  instruments from the Middle Ages.
• The guitar that we just worked with evolved over
  a course of many years. The basic idea of how it
  produces sound is very old. The challenge here is
  to link an old instrument to a instrument that is
  played today.
• Each group must type in the following
  information on at least 2 of any of the 11
  slides The information in blue is the answers
  already done. Answer the questions that dont
  already have blue text.
• What might be a modern version of this ancient
  instrument?
• Answer the question about the possible pitch of
  the instrument
• Write a brief statement describing why you think
  the modern day instrument you listed is related
  to the old one in the picture.
• Once your group completes 2 of the slides,
  continue to work on other slides until the period
  is over. If you have a question or need help,
  please raise your hand.
