Selecting Our Topics

The first step in designing how and what we want to learn in Year 9 Music in 2011 is selecting our topics.

The compulsory topic that we must study is Australian Music which encompasses a range of different musical styles. Then, there are 4 other topics that need to be selected. I am going to choose one topic, which means that the remaining three are up to you.

In your envelope, you will find a sheet with two topic boxes on it. We must make sure that when the final topics are determined, that we have selected 2 topics from each of these boxes to be studied over Years 9 and 10.

Your task for this week is to nominate the three topics that YOU want to study in the Elective Music Course. It will be a 'majority rules' scenario so for your voice to be heard, you must post your nominations on this blog by Friday 5pm (come and see me if you have trouble with this before Friday). Failure to nominate topics, results in me selecting your topics.

In your envelopes, you will find a list of your Year 9 classmates. You might want to talk to them about the topics before making your final decision.

Check this blog on Monday for our chosen topics and your next step in designing how and what you are going to learn in Year 9 Music.
