Project Plan 2.0

Due to some technical difficulties, my project plan which I wrote up a few weeks ago was deleted and probably cannot be retrieved.  So today, I will go back and outline briefly what it said as well as make any necessary changes.

My plan was to write a song.  So, basically, as I see it, a song consists of two main parts, the lyrics and the instruments. But, I also want, of course, to record the song too, so this project will consist of three main parts, writing lyrics, writing music for the instruments, and recording.  Therefore, around the idea of those three parts coming together around a single product, this is the slightly revised version of my rubric:


4
3
2
1
Lyrics
The lyrics are great, contain few, if any, cliches and are very interesting.
The lyrics are good, but may contain some cliches, and are at least somewhat interesting.
Lyrics are present but not very good, contain a lot of cliches, and are quite bland.
The lyrics are nonexistent or absolutely terrible, or are completely bland.
Music
The music is great, sounds sophisticated and interesting.
The music is pretty good and somewhat interesting.
There is music but it isn’t very good.  It is muddled and ugly.
There is no music or the music is just a catastrophe of sounds.
Recording
The recording is great with few to no technical flaws.
The recording is pretty good with only a couple of technical flaws.
The recording exists but is not very well done and has lots of technical flaws.
Recording is nonexistent or is very very bad, making it nearly impossible to listen too.
Final Product
The final product is a well rounded song with several dimensions.
The final product is okay and displays some features of a good song.
The final product isn’t too good and displays very few features of a good song.
The final product is not recognizable as a song.

Looking to the weeks to come, I don't have a lot of time to complete this song.  Therefore, I plan to have the music and the lyrics written by the end of the week we return from break so that I can start recording two weeks from getting off of break.  I hope, too, that by the end of break I will have a good outline of the song with lyrics and guitar so that I can try to start adding more instruments.
