1st Period General Music-8th Grade Assignments

It's the final countdown! 

Please complete the attached form. This is a huge help for me in planning lessons and units moving forward. I appreciate you!

Compose an original song/composition

I will compose an original song. It will need to include:
The length of the song should be at least (minimum) 48 measures
An introduction (introduce the listener to the composition); usually 2-4 measures long
 Transition to a distinguishable middle
A coda (an ending; able to express why the song stops the way it does)
Minimum 5-6 instruments/loops/sounds (balance with a variety of instruments - they do not have to be used throughout the whole song)
At least 1 fx effect on one loop within the song
A cohesive sound – from start to finish, the song “makes sense”
NOTICE: We are working on this single assignment for several class periods. It is not due today, so do NOT try to finish it in one class period.
I will polish my song before marking my assignment as "done." Ms. Egan MUST check my work before submitting

Complete the attached video.

Your score for this assignment is what you score on your Edpuzzle. You have 2 attempts to get answers correct.

Once you finish with the video, make sure to mark this assignment as done.

Use the template below to create a Google Slide Presentation on the culture you are researching. This WILL be used to present to your classmates when you teach them about the culture you have studied.

GOOGLE SLIDES - TEMPLATE
Open the template
Go to "File" & choose "make a copy"
Name your slides "WORLD CULTURES PROJECT - NAME" replacing name with your first and last name
Make sure you attach the slides to your assignment
You will be completely editing the template with font, images, links, and more
When you are done with your project & ready to submit, you will DELETE THE FIRST SLIDE (info slide).

You will use 1 of the following slides to begin learning about the music of another culture. You will need to use the paper worksheet to follow along (given to you by Mrs. Egan). The slides provide information you will record on the worksheet. They also provide videos with song and sound examples. Make sure you listen to each one.
