Friday 6.9

Today we had a very quick warm-up then took our test.  Then we went over the test and talked for a while about the upcoming oral test.

This is the homework for tonight:

Here is the assignment for the oral test:

Spring Oral Exam #3 – favorite song/band/singer

For a third oral exam, I want you to tell me about a song that you love (or hate).    I highly recommend that you record the presentation. If you want to present live to the class, you can but make sure I can hear and understand you.  The presentation should last from 2 to 5 minutes and cover the following:

·         What is the name of the song?  What is the name of the band or singer?

·         What country is it from? What language is it in (if there are words)?

·         When did they make the song?  Can you find out where they recorded it?

·         What are the feelings in the song?  Is it sad, happy, angry, or other? 

·         What instruments do they use to play the song?

·         Why do you like it?  Does it make you feel something?  What is your favorite part?

·         Is there a part that you don’t like? 

·         When do you like to listen to it?  Before bed? In the car? 

·         Is it good for dancing?  Do you like to sing along?

·         Why did the performer write it? 

·         Can you find out anything more about the song?

·         Do you know any other songs that sound similar?

Some of these questions might be hard to answer, but I would like to see you try to answer as many as you can. I hope that every review will answer each of these questions, and more if you have more to say. The grading rubric for the test will be as follows:
