As scheduled now PowerPoint presentations will be shown in class for peer-assessment during our final session on May 3 at 10:55 am. Everyone will have 10-12 minutes to demonstrate his or her work.
All other classwork and assignments must be submitted by 4 pm May 4.
Do Part A, mandatory for all, then choose one from parts B, C, or D.
The PowerPoint presentation will be demonstrated in class for peer-assessment. Here is the rubric we'll be using for assessment.
During this presentation you do not have to teach the lesson. Be prepared to do an overview of the lesson which should include brief descriptions of the following:
Ideas for Lesson Plans
Your completed lesson plan in standard lesson plan format and the folder containing your PowerPoint presentation material must be submitted in class by May 3. You should not email this PowerPoint presentation to the assignment address.
Remember to create your PowerPoint in the proper way so media inserted in the presentation is copied with the file. (We went over this in class.)
Complete a sequencing project of at least 24 to 32 measures in GarageBand with a minimum of 4 tracks and timbres. Parts should be input in real-time or step-record (not Notation view) and each track should include appropriate volume and pan settings.
The choice of music is yours. If you don't have a specific choice, you should sequence The Star Spangled Banner or God Bless America.
When your sequence is complete, submit two versions of your project - a GarageBand Archive Project (File > Save As) and an audio file (Share > Export Song to Disk). Ask JM for assistance.
Complete a final notation project of at least 24 to 32 measures in Finale with 4 or more instruments and staves. One transposing instrument is required.
Your score should include more than just the notes, i.e. appropriate dynamics marks, phrase marks, slurs, etc. must be included.
The choice of music is yours. If you don't have a specific choice, you can arrange a Bach Fugue for a quartet of your choice.
Note: before completing and printing this project, please consult with JM on formatting your score.
On completion, submit the full printed score and the first page of each part.
Talk to JM about the requirements of this part. There are a few possibilities from which to choose. Note: if working in GarageBand, the difference between this project and Part B is that this project should contain primarily audio files/loops - similar to the Soundtrack Exercise. In Project B the GarageBand sequence must include 4 tracks of software instruments (MIDI).
