Soundscape Project

Project Requirements: 

• Make a thematic collage base on one of the sub themes of sound, scan it (or take a picture with the elmo),make it into your background for your title page. 
• Present an extended analogy of the ear, comparing it to another complex mechanism. 
•  Create a graphic chart using data from the sounds related to your collage theme.  Compare the amplitude, frequency, and your reaction to each sound on a scale of 1-10. 
•  Demonstrate complex understanding of one of the Sound Vocabulary words using these features (at minimum): 
• Definition in your own words 
• Synonyms and antonyms 
• A complex sentence using the word 
• A two line rhyme that relates to the meaning of the word 

• Go beyond the requirements.  To have receive 5 out of 5 in ANY category, you need to go beyond the requirements.  If you simply do a good job on what I require, the highest grade you can receive is a B.  following is an incomplete explanation of ways to show initiative and go beyond my requirements: 

• Extra EFFORT  can be shown by doing more quantity than is required, getting work done efficiently in class, and going beyond what is comfortable and easy for you, etc. 
• Extra CREATIVITY can be shown by using advanced features in the Powerpoint program, using graphics in a pleasing and effective way to enhance content, adding your own personalized artwork (beyond the required collage), making a recongnizable theme that adds to instead of distracting from your information, etc. 
• Extra UNDERSTANDING can be shown by using your knowledge to show higher level thinking skills (Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation).  ANALYSIS: study the root parts of words, map the vocab words on the Sound Idea map, etc.  

 Soundscape rubric (I will use this to grade your project)

	1-3 points	4 points good - meets requirements	5 points excellent – exceeds requirements
CREATIVITY	1= not even close	Artistic skills used Technical proficiency Theme developed	Additional artwork, tech. excellence, elaborations
UNDERSTANDING	2= needs improvement	Synthesis, Analysis, or Evaluation level reached in content	Written descriptions, extra analogies, independent research
EFFORT	3= OK	Class time used well, care and hard work are evident	Higher quantity and/or quality of work
COMPLETION		Collage Ear Analogy Data Chart Vocabulary Word	Something extra
Total: ____ / 20

These are slides from my example project.  

Use them as a guide and a source of ideas, but make it your own.

Now you can modify the image to be less distracting.  I mostly just lowered the brightness on mine.

 At least one of your slides needs to Include the chart
 where you make an extended analogy for the ear.
