“Where Has all the
Music Gone”
Webquest
Story:
An Asteroid has hit the earth! It sent
out an electronic shock wave and
knocked out all of the Ipods and
computers. The world has forgotten
what music is! It is up to you and
your group to search on the Internet
and the encyclopedias to make a presentation and educate the world on
what music really is!
Task:
Your task is to make a PowerPoint Presentation educating us on what
music is. Include pictures and samples of music. Every student in the
group must complete at least one slide AND present it to the class.
Assign at least one student to each question (some may have more). This
presentation will take place THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 15, 2010.
