//A brief snapshot, as if someone asked you to briefly and clearly describe the intent of the lesson or project.// ||  ||   ||< For this project, the students will all choose a meaningful song of their choice. The song that they select must have at least one theme that students' can identify. Using Photo Story, students will create a "music video" by playing their song, selecting pictures and connecting information and events to their song. Additionally, these pictures will help highlight the theme or themes of the song which will be labeled toward the end of their music video. The students will create their Photo Story in the computer lab and eventually present their "music video" to the class. || //What will guide student inquiry?// ||  ||   ||< Open Overarching: Why is it important to recognize themes?
 * < **Summary of Unit**
 * < **Essential Questions**

Open Topical:
From a song that you chose, what are some of the themes?

I can use Photo Story to **identify themes** of a song and use pictures to **connect the song to information** and **events.** //What will students learn and do?// ||  ||   ||< Students will learn that songs often have themes (a message about life) and they will learn to identify these themes in a song of their choice. Plus, they will think about themes in music as they listen to songs throughout their lives. Using Photo Story, the students will connect their song to information and events using pictures. These connections will convey the themes and meaning of the song in a "music video" sort of way. Once the students are done with their project, students will present their "music video" to the class. || //Checklist, Presentation, Oral Response, Rubric, Test, Quiz, etc.// ||  ||   ||< doubleClickHereAndType || //(e.g., content, technology, etc.)// ||  ||   || doubleClickHereAndType || //- Steps in the process// //- Responsibilities// //- Guiding// //- Questions// //- Student products// ||  ||   ||< doubleClickHereAndType || //- Computers - Software - URLs - ameras - Presentation Device - Handouts, Books - Supplies, Other// ||  ||   ||< doubleClickHereAndType || //- Location - Teacher / Student roles - Group Dynamics - Interactions with experts, other educators, etc., if applicable// ||  ||   ||< doubleClickHereAndType || //Special Ed, Gifted, ELL// ||  ||   ||< doubleClickHereAndType ||
