Include specific musical observations: date of the compositions, historical period, and/or information about the composer(s). 3. You may also want to include: a. The composition (music & performance) you liked best and why. b. The composition (music & performance) you liked the least and why not. 4. Provide general reactions to the videos. B. If using information from a source for background, avoid PLAGIARISM* at all costs by borrowing a minimum amount of material (less than 15%) and acknowledging the source! III. *Plagiarism – I want to read YOUR thoughts and reactions to the videos that you watch, not someone else’s! A. You may “borrow” short sections from sources. 1. One to four sentences total (113 words): less than 15% of the 750-word count. 2. If you borrow material make sure that is acknowledged. B. Remember – it’s VERY easy to copy material word-for-word from the internet. 1. It’s also VERY easy for me to find out if you’ve copied from the internet!
