Assignment: My favourite band
In this project, we are going to work with music and our favourite bands - or artists. You will read, listen, write and speak about the subject through the different parts of the assignment.
Part I - What genre?
In this part we pick a music genre and present it to the class in groups. The presentation should include:
History of the genre
What instruments are commonly used
Examples of famous artists
Present one song as an example - and tell us a bit about it!
Try to speak for at least one minute each. Se separate doc on Classroom for Groups.
Part II - The lyrics
What kind of lyrics does your favorite artist/band have? In this part you pick the lyrics for a song of a band or artist and work individually (by yourself). The lyrics have to be in English. I want you to answer these questions:
Translate the lyrics to Swedish as an exercise
What are the lyrics about?
Has the song got a message?
Is there a specific theme to the lyrics? As in, if you were to summarize them into one word - it could for example be “love” or “loss”
What is your reaction to the song?
Do you remember the first time you heard it?
Most of the music we listen to in Sweden have English language lyrics, why do you think it is like that?
Present this in written form. Write a text about your lyrics - do not just answer the questions above. Write at least half a page.
