Composer of the Month Competition

  • Each month, a new composer comes out to be recognized, studied and learned from. Students of each class will be put into two groups. They are required to do some online research, compare the obtained information, choose the information to be put in the final paper. Student are going to asses how the team worked, what they liked and what they disliked.
  • Team Leaders are in charge of managing the team, dividing the work and evaluating  the members’ performances.
  • Each member of the team should do their own research and gather as much info as they possibly can before sitting with the rest to decide which info to be used for the final paper.
  • Before submitting the paper, each member should know basic information about the composer. I want to see evidence that the student read the info, like highlighting or underlining the important parts of the information.
