- at the end is a sample "rubric" which I use for evaluating ScholarNet Assignments
ScholarNet Assignment Number One
"Successful Access and
Sending"
[twenty points possible]
Due Date: Midnight, Sunday, January 24th
Assignment Code: SN#1
SN#1: For this assignment - simply follow the format procedure and write, "yes, I have successfully accessed ScholarNet and I love music." [The goal is to ensure everyone is "tracking" on their use of ScholarNet]
ScholarNet Assignment Number
Two
"Buy a CD?"
[twenty points possible]
Due Date: Midnight, Sunday, February 7th
Assignment Code: SN#2
SN#2: For this assignment - I want you to imagine that I have given you $20.00 to buy a CD or tape of your choice. What would you purchase? Why would you make this selection? What do you like about this type of music? How does this type of music "speak to you"? Do you have other examples of this type of music in your personal listening library?
ScholarNet Assignment Number Three
"Music in Society"
[twenty points possible]
Due Date: Midnight, Sunday, March 7th
Assignment Code: SN#3
SN#3: For this assignment - I want you to discuss how music is used in our society today. Where do you hear music? Why do you hear music? Does music play as important part in our collective lives as it did - say 100 years ago? Why yes, or why no? Do you think the trends of today are good? Are bad? How might these trends change? Why might these trends change?
ScholarNet Assignment Number Four
"All-Time Favorite Musical
Experience"
[twenty points possible]
Due Date: Midnight, Sunday, April 11th
Assignment Code: SN#4
SN#4: For this assignment - I want you to describe your all-time most favorite musical experience. It might be as a performer. It might be as a listener or member of an audience. Why did this experience touch your heart? Move your soul? What about the experience "moved you"? Do you actively "seek out" other musical experiences of this kind?
ScholarNet Assignment Number Five
"My Musical Future"
[twenty points possible]
Due Date: Midnight, Sunday, May 2nd
Assignment Code: SN#5
SN#5: For this assignment - I want you to describe what you think your "musical future" will be. Will you actively "seek out" musical experiences with which to be involved? Do you currently sing or play an instrument - will you look for opportunities to continue this participation? Are you currently a good "listener" [and the world needs many of these] - will you continue to "seek out" opportunities to "listen" to music? Do you think you will encourage your children [of the future] to participate in music? Why? Will you support music in your church or community of the future? Why?
