Music Project

The project is worth up to $5,000 in extra credit. You may complete ONE movie project OR ONE music project, but NOT BOTH.

Deadline: end of the last class before Thanksgiving Break. No late projects will be accepted.

You must supply an original song (on a burned CD) or a music video (on CD) from one of the songs below to be eligible for credit.

If you cannot supply an original song or a music video from the list below you should do the movie project instead.

Directions: One typed page (or less). Discuss the economic concept and why the song demonstrates that principle. I encourage you to be creative and to identify a song that you think future classes would be interested in hearing or seeing (video).

Without any further delay here is the restricted song list!
