Arbeitsblatt: Time for your song

English: Its time for your song 1) Choose song from any genre to present to your class. Genres may include Pop, Rock, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rap, R&B, Country, Gospel, etc. Important: The song must contain lyrics, that are suitable and appropriate for school audience. This means that the song must not contain swear words or actively promote violence, the use of drugs and/or alcohol. Songs that contain lyrics of sexual nature will not be considered. 2) Translate the lyrics of the songs and write them down in word document with the title song vocabulary. Save it in the folder on Microsoft Teams. 3) Prepare PowerPoint Presentation of the song that contain the following 4 parts. a) The name of the artist Give small amount of background information (ex. What the group/artist is best known for, what country the group/artist is from, etc. Look it up!). b) The genre of the song To what genre does your song belong to? Why you chose to classify it as that genre (see above for list of possible genres). If your selected piece does not fit in any of the genres listed above, describe what genre you think it is and why (ex. Techno, because of the beat; Country because of acoustic guitar). c) What the song is about. Even instrumental works often have theme or reason for being written (ex: Beethovens Symphony No. 3 was originally written about the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The Beatles wrote Blackbird with reference to African American civil rights). Is there story? If the story isnt obvious, what do YOU think its about? Think what the song could be about. d) The songs meaning to you. Why did you choose this song? Why do you like it? Do the words mean anything to you, personally? What do you like about the song? What does the song remind you of? The melody/melodic line? The beat? Is it the harmonies that stand out to you? Or the difficulty it would take for someone to perform the piece? 4) Put the PowerPoint Presentation into the folder called PowerPoint 08th of February.
