Hi there Year 8 music students!

Now that you have researched your Rock Style, you can begin putting together your script.

But first, lets do this online activity:

To see an example of Rock music that has developed over time, go to my list of "Choirs You Must See", found in the right menu here.

These days, Rock music is influencing all kinds of other music. Click on the "Perpetuum Jazille" This huge choir is performing AFRICA by the 80's rock band TOTO, at a big choir competition in Europe:

• They are singing a capella, with no accompaniment, and they make all the instrumental sounds with their voices.

• They even make the sound of an African Thunderstorm.

• Can you tell who is singing the LEAD vocals?
  

• Also, listen for the BEAT BOXER and the THUNDER CLAPS.

Now continue with your Oral Presentation script. Check your spelling, and be sure to follow all the dot point criteria on your Assessment Outline sheet. You should have a paragraph on each of the following:

1. Introduction
2. History and Origin
3. Characteristics of the Style
4. 3 examples of Historic bands and songs
5. Modern Use of the style in music today
6. Your opinion of the style

Remember, the 6 paragraph structure will be very helpful.

The 6 paragraphs can be transferred into

• 6 slides on your slide show OR
• 6 text boxes on your poster

The 6 paragraphs can also outline the information that you will put in dot points on your palm cards. Done this way, you may only need 6-8 cards.

Good luck!
