- First, I want you to read the text "A (very short) history of ROCK MUSIC" in your books (p.52).
- Then, I'm asking you to follow this link and do some more reading about the different music styles of our world. You don't have to read everything, just the parts that interest you or are important for what's coming next.
- Choose a singer or a band you like listening to, write a presentation, together with some links for your friends (youtube, wikipedia, the homepage of the singer/band...). Use whatever information you can find on the net but do not copy/paste!
- Read your friends' presentations and respond to them.
Just to give you a taste, here is one of my favourite singers,
and (still) one of my favourite bands:

Snoop Helps Bow Wow Get His Start
Bow Wow's been rhyming since he was five years old. Bow Wow's big break came when he jumped up on stage and started rapping in between acts on the Chronic Tour rap concert when he was only six. Lucky for Bow Wow, the top dizzowg himself, Snoop Dogg was really impressed and gave him the nickname Lil Bow Wow. Now that Bow Wow's growing up, he's dropped the "Lil" to prove that he can role the big dogs.
