PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (Before the Unit)
Students will require an understanding of the concepts and terminology used in FORM ANALYSIS, and the Notation of DYNAMICS. They will also benefit from prior experience using the Close Study Process. Prior to performing the self-evaluation task students should be led through the steps in completing the Self-Evaluation Form for Recordings.

MEASURING STUDENT LEARNING
Learning will be measured through the use of rubrics for each of the three phases of the lesson. Day 1 will be evaluated using the rubric for Close Study/Listening, Day 2 will be measure by using the rubric for Close Study/Score Analysis. The final phase of the project (Day 3 through completion) will be measured by using the rubric for Self-Evaluation completed, as a part of each Recorded Self-Analysis, along with observations made by the Judges at the District Festival. Improvement will be by scoring in the Self-Evaluation process, and supported by the recorded evidence gathered during this
