As the students enter the room, they will notice that there are a number of listening stations set up along one side and a microphone and karaoke machine set up in the front.

"I hope you all had a great Fall Break. Thanks again to Marty for covering the last class, I hope you all learned something and had a good time. We're going to be switching gears away from television and covering music for the next few weeks before moving to books and movies. I'll also have information for you in the next week or so about your final projects."

She passes out a handout as she continues. "We're going to start with one of my personal favorite decades of music, the 80s. That's the 1980s for those of you from other times. In my personal opinion, nothing will ever come close to topping 80s music. Today, I want you to spend the first part of the class period listening to some 80s music at one of the listening stations. Then, you're each going to pick a song and perform for us! If there aren't any questions, let's get started."
