Throughout the course, you will be building a PowerPoint presentation in which you embed videos of musical selections from the time period we are studying that week. Use the PowerPoint template as a guide and complete the Unit slides each week, culminating in a complete presentation that you will share with your peers in a discussion board in Unit 8.
The template in Unit 1 is shared in the form of a PowerPoint document that you can download and use to start your project. In Units 2-8, the template will be shared as a PDF for your reference.
This week, complete the slides labeled “Unit 5” in the template and submit your original document through the assignment link.
