 * Why a wiki? **

A wiki is a collection of web pages. They are good for projects because they are easy-to-edit. Also your project coordinator can see exactly what each person has done. In addition, it is possible to block pages once a deadline arrives. Finally, once the work is finished, you are left with a virtual gallery to share with friends, family and of course, classmates. Given that we are working on songs and lyrics, it should be interesting to look at and listen to!


 * What do I do with the wiki page?**

So, the basics. Each of you will have your own web page. This web page will have your name as its title.On this web page you should put:

1. **__your text__** about your chosen lyrics; 2. an image (or images) to illustrate them; 3. a Youtube video (or mp3 track or link) so that we can listen to the song; 4. a summary of the main points of your speech; 5. a brief task for the audience to do.

If you have any doubts, look at the example** Ian L - example **which you will find in the list of names on the left.

Remember, your deadline is 13:00 on Sunday 7th November.

 * What about the rest of the lyrics project?**

You wiki page will contain all three parts of your project:
 * your text (ie. your speech)
 * a handout for your audience
 * the speech that you will deliver to the audience

__**The handout**__ has two parts:
 * bullet points of what you are going to say
 * an activity (gap fill; choose the right word; missing letters; mixed up lines, etc) to keep your audience entertained

Mr Latham will copy-paste your handout material directly from the wiki site and organise photocopies. You no longer have to worry about this bit.
__**The speech**__ is bascially the same text that you put on the wiki. In fact, your speech and the text on the wiki can be 100% identical. But more likely, you will change some phrases or add some phrases. Why? To help you interact with your audience.

What might you add? Well, try:
 * Rhetorical questions and their answers: "So why are these lyrics so important to me?" "For three reasons; First, ...."
 * Comments: "You may be asking yourselves whether....; It might sound obvious, but..."
 * Opinions: "Clearly,... Obviously,... Not surprisingly,...."
 * References: "I'm sure you're hoping that this is my last point as you'll be dying to get to lunch... I'm sure you'll find the heavy metal music to your taste, Nilo..."

What will I do on the day?
//Most of you will present your speech in person, in front of the class. Mr Latham will decide which order you go in.//

You should be ready to start presenting on Monday 8th November at 13:30 or 15:20.
You will stand in front of the whiteboard, with your wiki page projected onto the board, and:
 * give your speech
 * play your video or mp3
 * give answers to the activity on the handout

//Some of you will present your speech in a video, sent by email. You should have already agreed this with Mr Latham.//
