Create Music Scores | Mood Project
Differentiated Instruction Mini-Project

Directions: You will create musical scores for some of the stories that we have read.  You will choose ten different scenes and complete the following for each choice:

1.	Summarize the scene
2.	Describe the mood of the scene
3.	Choose or describe an appropriate song
4.	Explain how the song matches the mood of the scene  

Example from Lord of the Flies:
1.	Scene: This song will play right when Ralph blows the conch and all of the other boys assemble.
2.	Mood: This scene is exciting, like an adventure is about to begin.
3.	Song: Come Together by the Beatles.
4.	Explanation: The song is about coming together and that's what the boys are doing.  Also, the song is upbeat and exciting and I believe that's how the mood of the scene is.

Team Up:  Have your partner create an album cover and track list for the soundtrack.

Information:  Are your summaries accurate?  Did you interpret the mood correctly?  Did you explain your choices?
