Design Your Own Music Magazine

INTRODUCTION

In groups of three you are going to work on the project. Remember you must include vocabulary related to music. To create our magazine you will use the tool Glossi. Log in through Facebook with the email account and password I gave you.

Picture by Stux.

Your magazine is going to be divided into five different sections:

1. COVER PAGE
2. MUSIC QUESTIONNAIRE
3. TOP FIVE
4. INTERVIEW
5. REVIEW (include the ones you have already written).

COVER PAGE
Your cover page should have a title (try to be original), a picture and subtitles related to the articles you are going to include in your magazine.

MUSIC QUESTIONAIRE
Write ten different questions and ask them to your classmates, friends or family. This is an example:


VERY OFTEN
OFTEN
SOMETIMES
NEVER
How often do you listen to these kinds of music?
· Classical music
· Pop
· Pop-rock
· Funky
· Rap
· Heavy metal




How often do you go to concerts?




Why do you listen to music?
· Because it is relaxing.
· Because it helps me to concentrate when I'm doing homework/ working.
· Because it makes you feel happy.





Write the results and record the conversations using Soundcloud. Ask some follow-up questions. For example, if the question is Have you ever been to a concert? You should ask other questions to get more information, like What group played? When was it? Did you enjoy it?

TOP FIVE

A cool music magazine always includes a Top 5 section which is, basically, the five favourite tracks people have chosen, in this way your Music Magazine should also have one.

In your Top 5, you will have to select 5 songs you like and explain to the rest of the class:
1. Who is the band playing them?
2. What is the song about?
3. Why have you chosen this song?

You can play the songs in class (up to a minute) so that we can discuss what the song is about.

INTERVIEW

For the interview, you will have to choose an artist from the ones that you will talk about in your magazine. Write the questions and record the interview using  Soundcloud.

Sample questions:
·         - Who do you usually dedicate your songs to?

·         - Why have you decided to call your album “…”?

r      ALBUM REVIEW

      You have already done this part, so you just need to copy it into your  magazine.
