- You have the option of working individually or in pairs. 
- The assignment will be counted as a test grade (40%)
- The assignment will be graded out of 30 points. 
- In the format of either a slideshow or poster (materials will be provided in class later), you will be choosing 3 songs that you feel reflect either a major theme or a character of "A Raisin in the Sun".

Grade breakdown: - Daily participation/effort - 5 points 
- Understanding of theme or character - 10 points - Relevance of lyrics - 5 points - Creative input - 5 points - Presentation - 5 points 

Directions for Slideshow:Each song (3) must have 2 accompanying slides. You must also have a title slide, bringing you to a total of 7. 

Title slide: Name(s) of student, and title of soundtrack. (Example: "Soundtrack for Identity" or Soundtrack for Beneatha")

Each song gets 2 slides: First slide:
- What is your song, who is it by, and when was it released?
- What is the song about, and how does it explore your chosen theme? (Or if you chose a character, tell us how the lyrics represent a quality of that character). 
- Name one scene in the story the song reminds you of and why. 
- An image of either the artist, or a visual representation of whats happening in the lyrics. 
Second Slide
- Have at least 3 quotes from the song that represent your theme / character 
- Why did you choose these specific lyrics? How do they reflect your chosen theme or qualities of your character?
- A link to either a video or audio file of your song (we'd like to listen to at least one from every project in-class one day). 

REGARDING LYRICS:

PLEASE use your best judgement in regards to explicit lyrics. If a song really means something to you and has some profanity/cursing, please don't use any of its explicit lyrics, or at least censor them if you have to. Please see me if you're uncertain.
