Title
I want to be a star Duration 120 minutes ( flipped class )
Measures , Physical Part of the work is done at home ( research , preparing the presentation , the setup requirements if necessary , props if students want to use them ) Expected output Interviews in which 2 musicians meet ( musicians who could never actually meet because they belong to different time periods )
Description 1 . Students are asked to choose a musician ( depending on the time period studied at that time or not ). At home they research as much as they can about
( Step-by-step guide ) him / her ( life , hobbies , life events , family , work , beliefs ) 2 . One student is the reporter who will be taking the interviews . The students are then asked to pair up ( or this could be done randomly as well by the teacher ). One reporter is assigned to each group . All students will be musicians and most of them will be reporters as well . 3 . In class , the two musicians will present themselves in a manner of their choosing and answer questions from the reporter . The audience ( classmates , teachers ) can also ask questions
Method notes The idea is to make sure the questions have managed to shine light on the things the musicians had in common and things that set them apart . Below is an example from Michael Jackson meeting Freddy Mercury ( the girl ). They opted for no props ( costumes , just background music for each )
