●
●
Minimum of five slides (make your slides creative with backgrounds, images, etc.)
Each of the four musical elements (Dynamics, Instrumentation, Melody/Lyrics and
Timbre) must be included. The other song information is up to the group.
Everyone must have a speaking part in the presentation at some time, however, you can
delegate one person to facilitate the class discussion; this would count as their speaking
role.
Be creative in your presentation and class discussion. Use props, costumes, music, or
everything else you can think of to make the presentation unique.
Class Discussion
Instructions
After your group’s slide presentation, the group will facilitate a whole class discussion on the song. If not
done already, the group will play a recording of their song choice, and lead the class through a discussion
of the musical elements of your song. It is the group’s job to have questions planned to push
conversation, and draw out meaningful responses from the class. It is not required, however, your group
will find it beneficial to create handouts or other materials to help the discussion. Any materials created
must be submitted to the google classroom assignment.
