Title: The Soundtrack of Your Life Assignment
Course: BC-Literary Studies 11-1.1.0.0-XT > Section: Unit 6 - Short Fiction & Poetry

To conclude this unit, you will create a visually appealing presentation of a three-song playlist. The three songs you choose should bring you hope and encouragement and provide a representation of the human experience as you understand it.

Ideally, these songs should have some variety, such as different artists, eras, or genres, and some unity, such as common images, themes, or literary devices.

For each song, you must provide the following:

- The title, author, and performer of the song
- A link or embedded video of the song
- A copy of the lyrics, complete with citation
- A short paragraph describing how this song brings hope and encouragement
- A short paragraph describing how this song represents the human experience

You are encouraged to include images of the artist or band, album covers, or additional photographs. All images should be properly cited.

Compile all of your work into an attractive presentation. Suggested resources for the presentation aspect of your project include Canva, Adobe Express, Prezi, PowerPoint, or Google Slides. Please do not just paste all the required elements into a document; take time to level up the visual aspect of your presentation.
