ECMA

The ECMA's are the East Coast Music Awards. They are a celebration of East Coast talent! For this assignment, you will be required to complete three mini-assignments.

the artist(s) name(s)
 * 1) 1 You and a partner will be assigned an artist/group from the Entertainer of the Year nominees. Your job is to creat a Glog to promote your artist. Remember that the theme is music! You must include the following information:
 * where they are from
 * something about their background/their childhood
 * instruments they play
 * the type of music they play/sing
 * their musical influences
 * awards already won and/or nominations
 * recordings (how many albums do they have)
 * where do they perform (Canada only, North America, abroad)
 * interesting facts
 * photos
 * an example of their music (audio or video)

Be creative! The following link will lead you to your artist's website: [] You will be presenting these to the class.

You must each submit a judging form with your prediction of the winner. Once you have judged your specific category, you are to follow the link listed in #1, and go to the video of the year section. View each of the videos and decide which one you think will win. Include your reasons why. You may add this information to the bottom of your "Official Judging Form"
 * 1) 2 You and your partner will be given a category to judge! You will do a bit of research on each of the nominees in your category and then you will decide, based on your research, who you think will win the ECMA for that particular category. In order to make it fair, I have only selected the categories in which there are 6 nonimees. I will be around for you to select a category. You will use the Official ECMA Judging Form in order to complete this part of the project.

3. Chris Colepaugh and The Crew won two awards this past weekend at the ECMA's:
 * Rock Recording of the Year for their album "Missed a Page" and
 * Fan's Choice Entertainer of the Year

I have selected the song "Some Things Never Change" from this album for your third assignment. You can find the lyrics by following this link: [] Your assignment is to create a digital photostory using this song. As you are listening to the song [], record the images that come into your mind. What message is the song trying to convey? Begin googling pictures and save them to your "My Pics" folder. Be sure to keep track of your sources so that you will be able to site them at the end of your photostory.
