 * Why a wiki? **

A wiki is a collection of web pages. They are good for projects because they are easy to edit. Also your project coordinator can see exactly what each person has done. In addition, it is possible to block pages once a deadline arrives. Finally, once the work is finished, you are left with a virtual gallery to share with friends, family and of course, classmates. Given that we are working on songs and lyrics, it should be interesting to look at and listen to!

** What is the lyrics project? **
==== The project is an opportunity for you to explain why a song is important to you: the importance or relevance of its lyrics and your feelings about the music itself and/or the music video. It consists of two parts: ====
 * ==== the text, images and video on the web-page ====
 * ==== the speech that you deliver to your audience ====

**What do I do with the wiki page?**
Each of you will have your own web page. Don't do anything until you see your name in the left-hand tabs! On this web page you should put:

1. an image (or images) to illustrate and introduce your song lyrics 2. a summary of the main points of your speech; 3. a Youtube video (or mp3 track or link) so that we can listen to the song; 4. the lyrics (in a font which is large enough to read at a distance) 4. a written version of your text about the lyrics;

If you have any doubts, look at the examples given** Lyrics - example 1 **and **Lyrics - example 2** which you will find in the list of names on the left of this web-page. If you have problems using the wiki, read the general instructions on the ** *How to page **.

**What about the speech?**
__**The speech**__ is bascially the same text that you put on the wiki, but altered slightly to make it more effective when spoken. (Yes, it can be 100% identical; but you will probably get better marks if you change some phrases or add some phrases.) Why? To help you interact with your audience.

What might you add? Well, try:
 * Rhetorical questions and their answers: "So why are these lyrics so important to me?" "For three reasons; First, ...." - Note the bunching (in 3s in this case).
 * Comments: "You may be asking yourselves whether....; It might sound obvious, but..."
 * Opinions: "Clearly,... Obviously,... Not surprisingly,...."
 * References: "I'm sure you're hoping that this is my last point as you'll be dying to get to lunch... I'm sure you'll find the heavy metal music to your taste, Hugo..."

What will I do on the day?
//Most of you will present your speech in person, in front of the class. Mr L will decide which order you go in.//

You should be ready to start presenting on Monday 14th November at 08:00 in the case of Letras.
You will stand in front of the whiteboard, with your wiki page projected onto the board, and:
 * give your speech
 * play your video or mp3
 * answer questions from the class or Mr L.
