GOOGLE SLIDES PRESENTATION

Each group needs to become an expert on the various genres and artists of each 20th Century Decade of Music. Use the decade links to the side to see exactly what genres each decade needs to cover. 

•Create a group Google Slide

•Each member research a particular genre and artists

•Include 3 artists for each genre (unless there are a ton of subcategories, then just tell me about one person from each subcategory)

•Include a clipped (15-25s) video example of the artist performing from youtube or a spotify playlist for me to play while you present.
