Ok...this class is a little "more" research oriented than INGL 3231 so we need to begin somewhere! Your first "mini" research assignment.
1. Choose THREE of your favorite bands, artists, singer, group, orchestra, choir...(get it right?)
Tell your reader: What makes them your favorite? When do you listen to "them, it, him/her"? Since when have you been a fan? What is it about their or that music that moves you? What makes them relevant, important, classic...? What kind of mood does it put you in? Have you ever been to their concert?
2. Look into at least 3 sites (FOR EACH) on the internet regarding those bands, artists, group, orchestra, choir that you chose. For example: If you happen to have a taste for Miley Cyrus, One Direction and Justin Beiber (YOU ARE IN THE WRONG CLASS!!! Just KIDDING!!!) You are going to choose 3 sites (fan sites or her personal site NO WIKIPEDIA PLEASE!!! Maybe Wikipedia would be useful because they include links that could guide your research but please don't you use it a source...) for Miley Cyrus. The same for One Direction and the same for Justin Beiber.
3. What information does that site have?
You will provide a link to those sites and tell me what you found. Summarize what you found in each site. Did you like it? Was it user friendly? Did it give the info that you expected? What were you expecting to find? Is any information missing?
Now...let me answer the question that somehow ALWAYS comes up: My band is not popular and has no site? Ok... well what if you were to create a site. What would it have? What pictures would you include? What info do you believe would be necessary to have a site?
4. Analyze this activity. In this part of the activity include, when available, quotes the artist has been known for or your favorite parts of their songs. A video could be nice too just in case you think we might like it! What did you learn about your favorite band, artist, singer? Who else is as much a fan as you? Why is the internet such an important tool for musicians? In what ways could it be detrimental to an artist?
