The beginning of the investigation!



The final selection of ideas were voted today. Here is the result of the voting. the final choosing of the actual topic will be determined through a series of presentations (presenting the investigations done by groups) and a final vote, resulting on three decisions. the three decisions would then be narrowed down for the very last month. 

Definite Ideas:

  • Medley 
  • World-changing songs
  • Battle of the bands
  • Acting of music videos
  • Evolution of a singer or band
  •  Classical music to modern music
  • Battle of the countries
  • four chords songs
  • instrumental songs
  • songs about seasons 

Investigation Criteria: These are the basic steps of investigating to keep us on track while researching the topics. 


  1.  Choose groups based on the topic that you like
  2.  Due date (presentations): Wednesdays February 18th and Monday the 23rd 
  3.  Presentation should be between 5-10 minutes
  4.  brainstorm mindmap 
  5.  pick best three/four
  6.  research questions (investigation): persuade your classmates that your research topic is going to be the best 
  7. advantages or disadvantages 
  8. is it possible?
  9. what are the equipments? 

Narrowed-Down Ideas :D


The following week, we voted on the ideas we have collected throughout the first few meetings. Here are the narrowed-down ideas. 

Here are the definite ideas that received more than 8 votes, making it a concrete decision. 
  • Medley
  • Songs that changed the world
  • Battle of the Bands
  • Acting out usic Videos
  • Evolution of singer/band
