LITERACY II – First Listening Assignment:

Due before rehearsal on Wednesday, October 11:

Music can be used to either reinforce or alter an emotional state in the listener. When people feel sad, they may put on a sad piece of music that helps them process their feelings, or they might put on something upbeat to help them feel better.

For this assignment, you are asked to select a significant historic event and pair it with a piece of music of your choice. Email me a link to an mp3 or video along with a paragraph outlining the event and why you chose to pair it with this particular piece of music. Assessment:

1. Active Link
2. Details about the event (date, significance, etc.)
3. Why you chose that event
4. Details about he piece of music (title, composer/performer)
5. Why you chose to pair it with your event.

Please email the above to me at mfollett@sd35.bc.ca prior to class on Wednesday, October 11
