Each pair will have the opportunity to discuss their new national anthem

Objective: Students will evaluate and (hopefully) improve their compositions and the compositions of other students.

Activity: Each pair of students will join with another pair and, in a group of 4 students; each pair will have the opportunity to discuss their new national anthem, the inspiration behind the text and/or the music, as well as any pertinent topics. The pair of students that is the ‘audience’ must be able to constructively criticize or genuinely praise the work of the other pair in the group so that each national anthem is of highest quality.

Assessment: Students should be able to critique the work of others without disrespecting others’ beliefs or means of expression. Are the students producing high-level suggestions for improvement?
