A normal  iq test includes several tests that measure intelligence, such as the ability to recognize patterns, remember things quickly, do math, and think critically. People often get the wrong idea about IQ tests, thinking that they test all the information you’ve learned over the years. Instead, they test your ability to learn. 
The first IQ test was made in the early 1900s. Since then, it has changed a lot. In the same way that they tested people’s abilities rather than anything they had learned in the past, their goal hasn’t changed, and neither has the way they do it.

The music of the Baroque Era w

https://youtube/iRwYu3f5iAE?si=EmkKrvacoIRhQpMz
 
The music of the Baroque Era was hugely elaborate, with endlessly  intertwining competing melody lines and irregular phrasing. This is in  keeping with the ideals of exaggerated emotion and passionate expression  of the age. The Classical Era was a little bit different. This era was  heavily influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment, which emphasized  reason and proportion in all things. In the Classical Era, the  perfection of music was found in the form, not individual  expression. This is why a lot of classical music sounds alike; the  structure was the most important element in the music. 
Another was to think of it: watch the following clip regarding the Classical and Baroque style trends in art.
 
Using complete paragraphs, answer the following questions:
1. How does John Thornton describe the style characteristics of the  Classical era? How does this manifest in this era’s music? Use the  appropriate MR HIGS terminology in your answer (i.e., melodies favored  balanced, arching phrases, harmonies had purpose in establishing  tonality, etc.). Name at least 3 characteristics, each in its own sentence/paragraph.
2. How does John Thornton describe the style characteristics of the  Baroque era? How does this manifest in this era’s music? Use the  appropriate MR HIGS terminology in your answer (i.e., the da capo aria  form was exceptionally popular, the harpsichord was a favorite  instrument, etc.) Name at least 3 characteristics, each in its own sentence/paragraph.
3. If you were listening to an unfamiliar piece of music, what things  would you listen for to determine if it was a Baroque or Classical  work? Name at least 3 different clues, each in its own sentence/paragraph. (HINT: your answers to questions 1 and 2 may give you some help. Use them!)

There are also many strategies that educators can use to ensure that effective instruction is implemented and students retain information. It is important that you as an educator are able to effectively implement various strategies; but before implementing, you must understand the underlying philosophies for the strategies you choose.
For this assignment, you will use the three theories:
*Sociocultural Theory 
*Sociocultural Theory 
*Conditions of Learning
Theory 
to develop a lesson plan aligned to the learning theory and philosophy that best resonates with you.
