After learning about active listening in Unit 3, it is time to put your active listening skills to the test and try them out! For this lab, you will be exploring two different pieces of music using the listening checklist described in the unit—and your active listening skills, of course!

Start by finding and selecting two pieces of music online. You are free to choose whatever type of music you like: pop, rock, rap, classical, instrumental, etc. Do your best to select something that is as appropriate as possible (i.e., as free as possible from curse words and inappropriate content) as your teacher will be listening to your selections too.

Create a word processing document and copy/paste a link for each musical selection in it. Below each music selection, copy/paste or recreate this chart (seen below).

Listen carefully to your first musical selection at least twice. Then, fill out the chart based on your listening. Repeat the process for the second musical selection.

Download this chart to analyze each piece of music:
RTF (Edit) PDF (Print)
After you have listened to each music selection and filled out the listening chart for each, it’s time to do some comparing and contrasting.

Write a one- to three-paragraph essay that compares and contrasts the two pieces of music that you listened to. If you need some help with what specific things to compare/contrast, refer to the listening charts that you filled out or the questions below:

How do the two musical pieces differ?
How are the two musical pieces similar?
Were the instruments featured in the two pieces different from each other?
What differences or similarities were there in tempo, or speed, of the music?
Were there any differences in what you were imagining as you listened to each piece? Did you hear a story in either piece? What emotions were evoked from listening to each song?
For information on how you will be graded, please refer to the rubric below.

Answer:

  Have you ever wondered how Country and Rap music differ? Music genres include pop, rock, jazz, rap, and country. But most of them have some commons, which confuses many. I compare rap to country music in this essay. After reading this article, you should realize how much country and rap music share and how little they vary. There are many features that individual might compare. Most people assume Rap and Country music are quite different, although they have many commonalities, such strong female performers, and meaningful lyrics. Despite their differences, rap and country have a lot in common.

Rap and country lyrics are opposite. Despite their musical differences, the performers' performances and presentations have certain parallels. Before a country performance, folks tailgate and grill in the parking lot. Most rap fans come a few minutes early and take their seats. For example, most country performers are white, whereas most rap artists are black. While many white individuals attend rap concerts, few black people attend country concerts. The crowds at each concert are also different ages. Rap performances attract teenagers whereas country concerts draw all ages. These musicians can perform everywhere. Most rap concerts tend to be staged in indoor settings like basketball stadiums, theaters, or hockey rinks. Some country concerts are hosted inside, but most are staged outside in amphitheaters. Also, many county performers play during summer fairs and festivals.

The music is clearly the largest difference between the two events. The musical instruments vary greatly. A rap concert usually simply has a DJ playing tracks on stage. A country performance features a wide range of musical instruments. Some performers play their own instruments, but most have backing bands. These ensembles include a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and keyboardist. There is even a violin, banjo, or harmonica.

Lyrics are as vital as a singer's voice. A vocalist typically picks or creates a song that has a deeper significance to them. A song's lyrics may convey a wide range of emotions. They prefer to sing about love and sex. However, rappers are more candid than country performers. People like to country and rap music because they can connect to the lyrics. A song that is not relatable will not sell as well. When you listen to a music, you want the lyrics to signify something to you. When life becomes tough, some individuals resort to song lyrics. It makes you feel better knowing someone else has been through it and won.

Famous rappers include Eminem. He wrote a lot of songs about his life, kids, troubles, and feelings. His song "Mockingbird" is typical of his music. "Hayleigh, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad, while I'm gone, but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had." (“Eminem - Mockingbird Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) During a difficult period, he penned this song for Haleigh. The music of country performers is not used to describe their life narrative. They sing about love, loss, or fun. Instead of delivering a tale, country performers utilize song to communicate sentiments. A superb musician, Clint Black. He created "When I Said I Do" for his wife. Here is the chorus: "When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time be faithful and true, devoted to you. (“Kenny Lattimore - When I Said I Do Lyrics | AZ Lyrics”) That's what I had in mind when I said I do.”

In conclusion, music is like most things in life. Overall, both country and rap music contain essential and personal lyrics. Rap artists use their music to convey a tale, while country musicians use their music to express sentiments rather than tell a story.

Passage
Maya disliked the desert because she was afraid of snakes. She had only agreed to go hiking because her friend Melissa had guaranteed they wouldn't come across any snakes. But even with her friend's promises, instead of enjoying the scenery, Maya was scanning the desert floor for any sign of movement.

"Maya, quit staring at the ground and look at this awesome view," said Melissa, thinking that Maya was being a baby and there was nothing to worry about. Maya knew that Melissa was right, so she tried to relax and enjoy their hike.

Deep in conversation, neither girl heard the rattle of the snake hidden on the trail up ahead.

Reread this excerpt from Sidney’s “Astrophil and Stella, Sonnet 19,” keeping in mind the theme: “people in love will continue loving, even if it makes them seem foolish.”
Select the two groups of lines that show the turn, or volta, in the sonnet.
When most I glory, then I feel most shame:
I willing run, yet while I run, repent.

My best wits still their own disgrace invent:
My very ink turns straight to Stella's name;

And yet my words, as them my pen doth frame,
Advise themselves that they are vainly spent.

For though she pass all things, yet what is all
That unto me, who fare like him that both
Looks to the skies and in a ditch doth fall?

Oh let me prop my mind, yet in his growth,
And not in Nature, for best fruits unfit:
"Scholar," saith Love, "bend hitherward your wit."

One of the many things that authors have to consider when writing is the audience they are writing for. The author may use specific techniques to interest a particular audience, or shape their writing to ensure that their specific audience will understand the main ideas. For example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. Your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.

You will be writing two separate paragraphs in this journal entry, each intended for a very different audience. Imagine you have been asked to write a paragraph about something you can do to improve your school or community. First, write the paragraph imagining that the readers of the paragraph will be first- and second-graders at the local elementary school. Then, revise the paragraph, this time writing it for an audience of political repesentatives in your city.

Your response should be no less than 150 words in total, and must include both versions of the paragraph.
