Soundtrack Project

THE OUTSIDERS: Soundtrack Project

For this project, I want you to following these steps:

1.       Choose what you view as the ten most important scenes from the book, from start to finish.  Write them down.

2.       Consider the emotions from the scene, as well as the actual physical action. Write down a few of the things that happen, and how the characters feel.

3.       Choose a song that you think fits this scene.  List the title and the musician.  DO NOT use songs from the actual movie sound track.  Consider the music that you like and are familiar with—this project should tell me something about YOU and how you view the book.

4.       Write a paragraph for each song explaining why you chose it for the scene.  Be sure to consider the lyrics and well as how the music sounds.  EACH paragraph should be AT LEAST five sentences long.  That means you will have ten paragraphs by the end.

5.       TYPE your answers in Microsoft word. 

a.       LIST

                                                                i.      Scene

                                                               ii.      Action

                                                             iii.      Emotion

                                                             iv.      Song

                                                              v.      Artist. 

b.      WRITE your paragraphs. 

c.       Spell check.

6.       Post your soundtrack in the Collaborize Classroom discussion labeled Soundtrack Project.

7.       Comment on the soundtrack of at least three other classmates.  Write something of substance.  “Cool soundtrack” or “Rob Zombie sux” does not count.  Raise questions, agree heartily (with backup/comments that strengthen their argument), or disagree heartily.  Avoid abbreviations and texting language that makes you appear less intelligent than you actually are.
