I assigned the Lord of the Flies Soundtrack project:
Lord of the Flies soundtrack assignment

 As a conclusion to our Lord of the Flies unit, your tribe will be creating a partial soundtrack for the book. As with any soundtrack, you should choose music to represent the mood and the feel of the text. You will also create a CD cover and creative liner notes to be enjoyed while listening to the CD.

 

With your group members you should:

v Choose your songs. As a group, you should decide on songs that represent each of the chapters of the novel (pick 2 chapters and so 2 songs total for each person in your group – each chapter can only be covered once in a group).  You can consider the lyrics of the song or simply the style and mood of the song. Be sure to choose music that is appropriate for the class. If you wish, you may write and perform a song for your CD.

v Create liner notes. Design liner notes that list the songs you have chosen with the information for the song and an explanation for why you chose each song. Your explanations should clearly demonstrate an understanding of the text and explain your rationale for choosing each song. You should have parenthetical citations referencing a specific moment in the text that you are trying to capture the feel of. It is not enough to simply say, ”this is the chapter where there is the fire…” Therefore, an “A” explanation would refer to specific points in the chapter and clearly describe the connection to the song. Your liner notes should also include the lyrics for each song.

v Design a CD cover. Design an original CD cover for your soundtrack. You can create images by hand or you can use a computer.

v Present your CD to the class. We will play selections of CDs during class.
