What are you Playing?

Music Video Project Playlist

11/9 Peer Playing Check

• Do I have to grade another student? Not necessarily.
• Do I have to play for another student? Yes.
• My friend and I are playing a song together. Can we grade each other? No. You'll need to find someone else.
• What if the kid who grades me gives me a 1 and I played beautifully? I'll check in with you and adjust your grade accordingly

11/1/17 Goals Setting

11/2/17: Sub Plans

First priority, finish this:

Once you have shared your Music Video review with me, you may spend the rest of class time listening to music of your choice. You may listen with a friend, but must use headphones.

• Every student must fill out the form for every song they listen to
• Choose a different question each time you fill out the form
• If you have already finished your music video review and are listening for the whole class, I expect that you'll have time to listen to 7-9 songs, and submit the form 7-9 times.
• If you are still finishing your review, I will expect fewer entries for listening
• All will be graded.
