Sensational+Songs

You and your group, yes you can get outside help, but the vast majority of the work must be your own.

You are working on one sensation to present the important terminology and ideas for this sensation. Some terminology is easy or obvious, please don't focus exclusively upon that. The purpose of your song is to help your group, and your classmates, learn this content. All members must participate and they should participate. Please let me know if a member doesn't participate fully... this is psychology, it would be ironic if you didn't work with other people to accomplish goals together.

Steps: 1. Determine what ideas, terminology, etc. are important for your sense. Below are the terms that must be included, this list is not definitive or complete. 2. Pick a song that your group can work with to change the words to make it an effective tool. The song must be popular. This means well known, not necessarily pop, it can by a childhood song or a classic. Yes, you will all be singing. We will all hear you. You will hear everyone else. 3. Work together in drive to collaboratively rework the lyrics to **ACCURATELY and USEFULLY** arrange the terms. Usefulness is everything here. 4. Sit down together and record yourselves singing your song, you may use any kind of instruments as well as your angelic voices. Use the technology of your choice to do this. Your friends at helpdesk have ideas (30hands free app, or just press "record"). You **MUST** have the audio of yourselves singing plus the lyrics of the song typed or written out so that viewers can read along. (You can just sing along while making a video of a ppt, or even hand drawn cards, whatever you need to do to get it done). **Just posting the lyrics in the comments will result in you needing to redo your presentation.** (This is one of those times you are glad you read the instructions.) 5. Upload your video to youtube or some other video hosting site that allows your all of your classmates to view your work. 6. Post the link here in the comment section. 7. Over the weekend before the test there will be voting for most helpful song, no one can vote for their own song, winning songs will earn extra credit points.

This project is worth 50pts.

Nice examples from last year are here last year's vote winner! [|this] [|this] and this were also very pleasing! this includes one that didn't include lyrics showing you why lyrics are now required. And well, we all need to revel in excellent dancing.
