Anthems+-+from+previous+years

= **Phase 2 - Sectional Anthem** =

**Objective**: National anthems celebrate the history, culture, and traditions of a nation's people. For this project, you will be working with a partner to **write** and **compose** a **//__sectional anthem__//** for both the north and the south. The anthems should highlight the differences between these two regions of our country, as well as express an excessive devotion to the social, cultural, and economic ways of life characteristic to the people of that region. Use the research you gathered in **Phase 1** to help you in this endeavor.

**Song Components**
The lyrics and musical score you come up with for this project are completely up to you and your partner's ability to effectively research the historical information necessary and to be musically creative. Many of us are musically challenged, but that will not be an acceptable excuse for this project. See the link below for inspiration and motivation for why you having nothing to fear from others hearing you sing. (//__**NOTE**__: This is **NOT a model of an anthem**, just a good demo of a song where content information is conveyed using words and images)//
 * Slave - by Mr. Armstrong (YouTube)

As a minimum, your sectional anthem needs to touch on the following key points:
 * Geography & climate
 * Methods of transportation

 * Significance of the following to each region's economic development:
 * South: Cotton, cotton gin, and slavery.
