Soundtrack of My Life
Music is an integral part of our lives. It motivates us, calms us, inspires us, at times irritates us and basically becomes the backdrop against which we live our lives. Songs can bring vivid memories of persons, places and events from our own past and serve to document our thoughts, feelings and emotions at a given time or place.
Your task is to choose 10 special songs in your life. You can choose songs that remind you of a special person, time/event or place. They also need to be from different artists. You may need to research new artists.
You will be sharing these with the class so use your time wisely.
Directions:
Part 1-Organizational Chart (Brainstorming)
______Step 1: Choose 10 parts of your life to include in your soundtrack. Circle them on the organization chart on the next page. You may come up with your own categories by adding to the other box at the bottom of the page.
______Step 2: In the chart, write down a brief explanation for each of your ten choices. For example, if you choose “Family Vacation” you might write down “summer, lazy, camp”.
______Step 3: Choose a song for each part of your life and list the song title and artist in the chart. Remember that each song needs to be by a different artist, and lyrics that are crude, or derogatory toward a race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion are not okay. Keep the songs school appropriate.
______Step 4: Decide an order for your soundtrack and write it in the organizational chart. This could be chronological (from birth to present day), from least to most important, or anything else. This goes in the last column of the chart.
______Step 5: Come up with a unique title for your soundtrack. List is above your organizational chart. You should not use “Soundtrack of my Life”.
Part 2-Visual Project
______Step 6: Using google slides, create a slideshow about the Soundtrack of your life. Make sure you include graphics (pictures to make it visually appealing).
Slide 1: A photo of a physical drawing or digital piece of artwork that you create that serves as the cover of your soundtrack.
Slide 2: A very brief autobiography. (Use complete sentences).
Who you are?
Where are you from?
Who makes up your family/extended family (including friends)?
What are you interested in? (Music, sports, animals, drawing, cooking, etc).
Slide 3-12: Music Slides
On each slide you need to include the following information:Name of song and artistWhen it was releasedBriefly explain in 2-3 sentences what the song is about.A quote from the song -1 or 2 linesExplain why and how the song connects to your life.Insert an image or images to enhance you slide.Insert a link to the song.
