Get to Know Your Topic --> Today's Main Goal

LISTEN FOR:

Lots of History!

Lots of Descriptions!

Lots of playing with language!

My Shot - Hamilton - Revolutionary Time Period

To write a quality song you need to have KNOWLEDGE of a TOPIC.  At this point we have only been looking at photos.  Today, we spend time investigating topics with the overall goal of arming ourselves with information so a quality song can be created. 

STEP #1 - Find your topic in the textbook.  Read about it and add notes to your provided note sheet.  Any notes taken from textbook should be labeled (TB).

STEP #2 - You will be provided with a BASIC article on your topic.  Read it closely.  Any new important information that was not provided by the text should be added.  

STEP #3 - Add to the other parts of the research sheet where you apply your knowledge of your topic and add creative elements.

Most students will find that through this process they may need to find out more information on their topic.  Below are some online sources.  Also,  Mr. Clark has additional resources.
