12/4 TEST
12/8 CD compilations and presentations due
CD Compilation Project
What is the purpose of this task?
To critically think about the novel and to locate non-print media (the song) that support the themes and tones of the novel,
Requirements:
A) Create a compilation of at least seven songs that reflect various parts and characters within Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.
B) For each song, write a paragraph explaining how the song complements the novel and a specific scene or character (think mood, imagery, relationships, etc…). Compare the lyrics and mood of the music to events and words in the book.
C) Design a CD cover for your song
D) Present one of your chosen songs to the class who will act as the board of directors for the movie/music company who is producing a soundtrack for the Wuthering Heights film. After you play your song, plan a minute of persuasive speaking to convince us of your choice. The “board of directors” will choose an all-star combination of songs from all presented in class for the ultimate Wuthering Heights CD. Ms. Strickland will provide a tape/CD player for your songs. Please provide a copy of the lyrics to the one song you present to the class.
