1. Grade 7 General Music Spring 2009 Mrs. Donna Edwards: Music Educator This power point presentation will introduce your folk group to several successful American folk groups of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Please investigate these groups and select one to research for your final folk group power point project. List your 1 st, 2 nd, & 3 rd choices. There is a URL listed with each group for quick access of information. Take time to listen to media clips of one of their songs to help you make your selections. A rubric for your embedded power point will be posted on my web site on Friday, April 24 th. You will need to let me know the name of the American folk group you would like to learn about, and present to the class, by the end of today’s class. If two groups select the same one, we will flip a coin and “heads” gets to choose first.
