Create a Composer Slide Show
You are going to learn about famous composers and the times in which they lived. Then you will create a slide presentation on two composers who come from the same period of music history. Which composer did you find the most interesting? Be prepared to list your reasons. 1. Fold a piece of paper in half three times. Number each square from one to eight. You should have eight squares. Each square of the folded paper represents one slide of your PowerPoint presentation. Your first square is your title slide. The last square will be your bibliography slide. The rest of the squares (2-7) will be your fact slides. 2. Begin to gather your facts by using the links below and by visiting the Scavenger Hunt Page. When you find an interesting fact, write it down in one of your squares on the folded paper. If it doesn't fit in the square, it probably won't fit in the slide. Keep facts brief and to the point. Remember to cite your references. Be very careful about writing down the Internet address. It may be easier to copy and paste it somewhere until you are ready to use it. Your teacher will show you how do to this step. 3. After you have created a rough draft of your slide show using your folded paper, check the rubric to make sure you have included all the elements in your draft. Your teacher will sign off on it. You may have to redo your draft a few times before it's ready to be turned into a slide show. Use this draft to begin creating your slide show. 4. The last thing you will do is build your slide show using PowerPoint. Do not add any transition, animations, or special effects until all of your facts, graphics, and sounds have been inserted into your slides. Before you begin, you better know some facts. Click the links below to start gathering your information. A bibliography will appear at the end of your slide show. It will let your reader know all the places you visited to gather your information. Your bibliography should list at least three references from three different sources and contain hyperlinks to those pages. To learn how to cite references in your reports, click here.

Share three interesting facts about your composers with the class. What did you learn about your composers that surprised or inspired you? Would your composer be successful in today's world? Would you have liked to have lived during the time of your composers? Is there anyone living today that reminds you of your composers? Why do you think it is important to remember great composers and listen to their music? |
