AMMSMusicZone CD Review Purpose
        Students will listen to 2 different music Cds and write reviews that will be made available on line for parents and the
        community.

        Students will develop listening skills to properly formulate accurate Cd reviews with the appropriate music vocabulary.

        Students will develop internet searching skills to find information regarding their particular CD in review.

        Students will take part in a project that will benefit our school and community
.

We Need a Review Form or Template
          Students will brain storm in groups to find the criteria that will be used to review the music cds. Then as a class we will
          use Inspiration to organize our thoughts into an Inspiration web and outline.  This will be the basis for a Template or
          Review Form that we can all use.


Choosing Your CDs
       The first CD review is your choice.  The CD must be appropriate for school.  If you are not sure if the CD is
           appropriate you better check with Mr. G before you get started. The CD must be a CD that can be purchased
           and not a compilation of your favorite songs.
          The second CD will also be your choice but you will be limited to the AMMSMusicZone CD Library.

Directions
            Good News! Your efforts above in the Review Form or Template section are about to pay off. As a class you brain
            stormed the criteria that you thought  would be most important for an accurate CD review.  We took all your great
            ideas in the brain storming session and organized them using Inspiration.
            Now we took all of that information and developed a template that we all can use.  If you click here the TEMPLATE
            will appear magically before your eyes.

                               Questions
                         Answer as many of the questions as you can.  You may refer to the inserts that came with your CD or
                                you may use the internet to search for information. Please use complete sentences for your answers!

                               Tracks
                         Please list your tracks by name and then comment on each track. Appropriate, positive and negative
                               comments are acceptable.  Please use appropriate music vocabulary whenever possible. Click here
                               for a list of words.  All answers should be written in complete sentences in paragraph form.

                               Saving
