Music has always been a wonderful vehicle through which people, both individually and communally, can find meaning, solace, peace, excitement, wonder, escape, etc.

In this blog you can share how you understand the idea of 'encountering conflict' through music. Using the shared class BLIP.fm account you can contribute to creating an archive of songs that relate to the context. When you add a song to the playlist you will need to post a blog that outlines your reasons for presenting it. Where appropriate, quote lyrics in your discussion. If BLIP.fm does not have what you want, write about your song and use a hyperlink to direct people to a place where they can access it. If you have original music that you would like to share BLIP.fm has features that should allow you to upload it.

NB: You must adhere to copyright guidelines.

  • Choose four prompts
  • Choose a text, image, song and film
  • Write about the links you can identify between your choices and the prompts
  • Write about the links you can identify between your choices and the set text
  • Write about the links you can identify between your choices and the Context
  • Come up with an idea for a writing piece and explain it in terms of FLAP+C
  • Present three quotes that you believe could work to enhance the writing piece
