2-1 Research & Inquiry

Watch this hilarious video explaining, in song, the history of opera. While you are watching, write down all the different types of voices and what roles they usually play in an opera.

Look at the three Driving Questions below and in your groups, decide which question you would like to answer. Each group can answer the same question or each group can answer different questions. The choice is yours!

1. How can we use the past to help the future?
2. How can we take a story from the past and retell it for the current day?
3. How can we create no-tech alternatives for entertainment that can be deployed anywhere in the world?

What will your group do or make to answer your Driving Question? Follow the prompts below to draw or write out some ideas with your group. Remember to download or save your work for future use!
