We’re Gonna Rock Your World Project
Each group of three or four students creates an imaginary band and then puts together a “Concert Tour Book”,
according to requirements set by the teacher. Individual students create their own “Music and Me” portfolios,
choosing from a list of activities to complete. The students will be working simultaneously on both group and
individual projects.
The instructions for working in groups are simple: You are responsible for your work and your group’s final
project. Try to solve problems and answer questions within your group before seeking help from the teacher. Be
respectful, cooperative, and kind.
Group Materials Needed:
- ½ or 1 inch binder
Individual Materials Needed:
- 3 prong folder of any color
- Art supplies (glue sticks, poster board, construction paper, glitter)
- Calculator
- Tshirt
