=Introduction= One day, when you are sitting on the couch about to re-read your favorite play, //Romeo &// Juliet, your dad turns on the television and says, "Hey! That book you are reading is being made into a new movie!" The commercial that comes on explains how the director for this upcoming movie is desperate for some music that will help create the mood for particular scenes in the movie. Atlantic Records graciously volunteered to help this director by offering to sign whichever composer can come up with the BEST soundtrack. Finally, you get to the good part of the commercial. They are holding a contest to find the next BIG composer. You have always had a knack for finding songs that fit your mood perfectly, and since //Romeo & Juliet// is your favorite, you decide to enter. But wait, there's more! The winners chosen songs will not only appear on a soundtrack, but you will also be able to create an album cover that depicts major themes within the play. =Task= A new movie is being made for Romeo and Juliet and the production company is desperate for music to be included that will help connect audiences and create mood. Atlantic Records has graciously volunteered to help by offering to sign whichever composer can come up with the BEST soundtrack. This is where you come in. Your job is to create a soundtrack complete with album artwork and descriptions of where each song will be played in the movie. You are limited to 10-12 songs on this playlist which will be put together on Share My Playlist. Glogster will be used to create the album cover, be creative and make sure you portray the important motifs/themes in this play. Then, once you have created the soundtrack and it is placed online so the Record Executives can go back after your presentation and review it, you will then put the music and album cover onto Capzles. Capzles will be used to create a timeline of where each song is to be placed and justification for why that song is placed there. Best of Luck and most of all HAVE FUN!

=Conclusion= Congratulations! You have completed your soundtrack and it was submitted to Atlantic Records Executives. You clearly showed major motifs/themes in the play within your album artwork and the music really helps create the perfect mood for the particular scene in the movie.
