February Genre: Musicians

Musician Report

Report Due: Friday, March 3, 2018

This month, instead of our regular genre project, you will study a musician, band or group
of your choice.

Choose one musician or band to study, conduct research, and prepare to give a 1.5 - 3 minute
speech on them to the class (please no longer than 3 minutes).  You will be allowed to have note
cards when presenting your speech.  Make sure the musician or band you choose has information
available!

Along with your speech there will be a creative display assigned and completed in class.  There
will be at least two in-class opportunities to research your musician as well as one night of
homework set aside.

After presenting your speech you will be able to share a clip of your musician's music.
Please make sure this clip is school appropriate. You can bring a CD or we can look up the
clip on YouTube.

Your speech must be typed into google classroom AND  include information about:

• their childhood(s)
• how they got their start
• famous songs and successes
• any other interesting facts!
