Work on your GarageBand Track












Agenda:
I. Do Now
II. Finish Lyrics
III. Add Lyrics to song

I. Do Now: The Media is seen as one of the most important elements of society. Some authoritarian governments restrict the media to keep people from rising up. For over 200 years, the U.S. has given news organizations the right to cover what they please in the name of 'freedom'. Many blame modern-day racism on the media as they continue to portray many people in stereotypical roles. How important is the media? Where do you see the media going?
What should the media be covering?

II. Finish song lyrics - Today, you will work on your songs and some of them will have a chance to record your lyrics into these songs. One thing to keep in mind is that your lyrics must go well with the beat you have created. If you are collaborating with 1-2 other people, you must make sure your rhyme scheme goes well with each other. Work on your lyrics and then finish your garage band beats to make sure they go well together.

III. If you are ready to record your lyrics, see Mr. Amador for the mic. You will have only 15 minutes to record your vocals. Make sure to upload your garageband beat to the network. Mr. Amador will show you how.
