Please make sure you turn in your homework (chp. 4 ?'s) today in your Google classroom. Some people still have not completed or turned in their reviews of Ready Player One. These projects/articles are past due.
TASK/PROJECT: Collaborative Music by Decade Prezi Project
Work alone or with a partner to research a decade of music (check sign up sheet).
Research trends in musical style, include representative performers or musical artists of the time period, explain what influenced the musical style (what came before?) and how it influenced the decade after (what came after?). Make sure you present representative artists from both male/female performers, as well as from white and black or minority performers.
Part of your grade will depend on the following 3 things: your prezi design, your thoroughness and accuracy in your researched material (please include MLA works cited information in your Prezi or Slideshow), and your presentation to class.

There are many styles of music. What I'm asking you to research is to look at the MAJOR divisions or trends of that decade. Most music continually influences itself, creating convergence.
You may find the following site helpful in your research:
A note about slides:
- Your slides should help pictorially or visually depict your topic.
- Limit # of words on a slide to 10 or fewer for full credit.
- You may have note-cards/notes with more than 10 words that you prepare for your presentation.
- Avoid reading to us. If you internally know the topic and what you're speaking about, your presentation will be more effective. The note-cards are there as a fail safe.
- Include at least 1 sound clip or video clip of no longer than 1-minute to give us a sense of the style of music you are discussing. This is, of course, more important for earlier styles of music. We are pretty much aware of what contemporary music sounds like. No need to overdo it.
- Your slide list should include:
- A title slide with your name(s)
- An overview slide to discuss the musical style(s) of your decade and its context (what's the big picture?)
- Individual slides that cover your topic in more depth (this may be where you discuss a particular influential musical artist, provide a sound clip, or explain influences)
- Some decades have a more varied style (more than one style). You should attempt to cover all the major genres of your decade.
- Remember: you are researching what was popular AT THE TIME or since, not just your personal favorite musician or musical artist!
- An MLA formatted works cited page of resources you researched and used. Remember to look for the author's name, as well as the name of the site, article, essay, etc. You may also find Google Scholar to be helpful to you as you research. Try it out here.
HOMEWORK: None.
