So, first of all, this is a mini-project, not a small piece of homework. Therefore, I am not expecting a few lines: I am expecting a few paragraphs with some pictures and examples, etc. You should do this project on on piece of paper, it could either be printer paper, several pieces of printer paper taped together or on small posterboard. Just remember though, there are lots of you and not much space to display these pieces of work, so bigger isn't better!
Now onto the task. You have each been given a style of world music from Gamelan to Pop Music: The Beatles. Your task is to design a fact sheet about that style of music.
Your poster should tell me:
- Where in the world is the music from?
- What is it famous for?
- Are there any dance moves associated with it?
- What is the history of the music?
- What are the instruments that are found in this style of music?
- Which performers made it famous?
- What do the instruments look like?
e.g. Irish Music
- Irish music is from all over Ireland.
- It is famous for being easy to dance to. There are Irish jigs and Irish reels.
- Irish Dancers don't move their arms when dancing, it is all with their legs. Michael Flattley made irish music famous with Riverdance.
- Irish music started about 1900, where workers found ways to entertain themselves after a hard day at work.
- Irish music uses instruments such as the fiddle, accordion and bohdran (a small drum)
- The Corrs took Irish music and mixed it with modern-day pop to celebrate traditional music.
