Music is said to be the universal language! This project taps into our student’s love of listening to music. Famous women in history can be amazing role models for our Stargirls related to their accomplishments, leadership, persistence, and values. Women who have achieved success in the disciplines of math and science are often disregarded, as seen in the movie Hidden Figures.
The objectives for this project include:
1. Research Skills: Stargirls identify a female role model to investigate. (Four important facts will be identified for slide one)
2. Analysis: Explore songs whose lyrics connect metaphorically with the accomplishments or character traits of the female selected. (A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison between two things that are not alike but share a common characteristic.)
3. Written Analysis: Explain the connection (metaphor) between the song selected and the accomplishments or character traits of the female role model selected.
4. Communication/ Technology: Creating three slides for a combined group slide show.
Slide One: A picture of your role model, her name and four interesting facts.
Write your name on this slide.
Write your name on this slide.
Slide Two: The title of your song and the lyrics that represent your role model.
Slide Three: Explain the connection (metaphor) between the song selected and the accomplishments or character traits of the female role model selected.
The following link will take you to a group slide show complete with step-by-step directions and examples of slides created by Stargirls. You may also organize your own slide show and create a link.
