Task: The life and music of ...

• Choose a singer or member of a music group
• Check out if s/he is on myspace
• See what information is available on him/her on wikipedia
• Use the information you’ve found to write about what you consider is important in his/her life and help to make up his/her sense of identity
• Look for a video of one of his/her songs on youtube
  
• Copy the code you will see displayed in the Embed box (to the right of the video on the youtube page) and then create a new post on the class blog
• Give your post a title, click on the Edit HTML tab and paste the code you copied from youtube into your post
• Click on the Compose tab and now write about what you think the song and the video reveal about your chosen singer/musician’s personality
• Do a Google search for the lyrics of the song
• Make a link to the lyrics in your post by clicking on the link symbol in the toolbar of your post and pasting there the URL (address) of the web page you found
• Revise carefully what you’ve written before publishing your post and run a spell-check on it
• Next, write a comment on your classmates’ postings: say what you find interesting about the lives and music of the singers/musicians they chose.
  
• If you found any of the lyrics difficult to follow, say where you had problems
