Concert
 * Students will need to brainstorm and research various styles of live performances. Students will conduct a community survey to learn of people’s likes and dislikes of live concerts. Students will need to watch video clips of live performances and categorize the similarities and differences among them. They will also need to attend a live concert in order to experience the authentic atmosphere. They will then need to form opinions and work with their peers to create a concert style for themselves. Things students will need to consider will be sound, lighting, venue, choreography, role of the audience, number of songs, pacing, and wardrobe.

Documentation of "The Process"
 * Students will need to compile evidence of their growth and development throughout the course into a tangible product.
