Music Marketing Project

Here's a list of information that students are encouraged to use while collecting data for the Music Marketing Project. Each group has already selected a band and created a logo for their marketing company. The next step is gathering information and I suggest Google docs as a great way of sharing information in a centrally accessible way.

Here's my list in any case:

Poetry workshop

For anyone interested, Souvankham Thammavongsa will be leading a poetry workshop for youth on Monday March 14th at the Sanderson library. Some of my grade 6's may remember her from the tangerine or there are no pictures of my mother poems we looked at last year.

See info below:
