ICEBREAKER--DESIGN A CD COVER

When people go to a music store, they spend time walking around looking at all of the selections and often will leave the store having bought a CD or two. The type of music a person buys and listens to can often times tell you quite a bit about the person. If each person made his/her own recordings and designed the cover for the CD, others would probably learn much new information about the individual whose recording it is. Your objective today is to create a CD cover that illustrates you and your goals.

Directions: You will receive two pieces of white poster board on which you will create a CD cover. On the cover you need to have a title for the CD (Your Name) and any words or pictures that represent you. On the backside of the CD (second piece of poster board) you will create a song list featuring 10 songs. The first 4 song titles should say something about you. The fifth song should be a duet of your favorite song and singer/group. The sixth and seventh song should tell us about your goals for the school year. The last three songs should tell your goals for the future.

This assignment will be counted as your first class grade and should be completed at the end of the period. See example below:

Songlist:

1. Momma's gone crazy
2. DECA is my thang
3. Cheeseburgers are paradise
4. 7 years of teachin' and it aint got no easier
5. When you wish upon a star (duet with Walt Disney)
6. Do I have to grade all these papers?
7. This time I’m gonna get your name right
8. Who said it only takes on day to paint a kitchen
9. I need a vacation…seriously
10. I will survive
