HINT! Return to this page often to
review the project goals.
1. Begin this project by selecting someone in your
class to work with.
2. Once you have selected a partner, begin by
reviewing a little Jazz history found on the link listed below.
Reading this brief information will help you to understand how your
Jazz musician fits into the overall history of this style of
music.
3. Now that you're caught up on your Jazz history,
it is time to select one of the musicians from the resource page.
Each musician is a little bit different, so make sure you select the
one that interests you the most.
4. Once you have selected your Jazz musician you
can begin to research his or her history and answer the questions
listed on their page. Use these questions to guide your gathering of
information about the Jazz artist.
*Remember to gather the information first...and
then begin to create your storybook.
5. After you've answered each question for your artist,
begin to put the story together. Be sure to select which grade level
you are writing for and read a few of their books, so you will write
for your audience. Select art work that is interesting and will
stay interesting when copied as black and white. If you found other
interesting facts about your musician please include them with the
other information you've collected.
