Students will continue working independently in their small groups. If students have done research in the library media center they may need to bring books and photos to the music room for scanning. After they have completed their research, each group will decide whether to use HyperStudio, video, or slide show to create a presentation to be given to their entire grade as a culmination to this unit. Students will take turns giving presentations. This is basically a music project integrated to enhance the classroom learning experience.
