First, you will give the students the study sheet.

Then, you can have each student play a key on the keyboard to see if they can tell you where it is. For example, ask a student to play D on the keyboard. Then, continue with the next student using a different letter.

After that, you can give the students the worksheet.

100 to 90 = A

89 to 80 = B

79 to 70 = C

69 to 60 = D

Below 60 = F

You can grade the students on the worksheet and their participation in class.
