Pop Culture Soundtrack of My Life Music Culture Rubric 
Pop Culture Music Culture Rubric
Whether we are aware of it or not, music is part of our life experience. It might be a song played on a warm-up tape, the last dance at Homecoming, the commercial jingle you hear during every Red Sox broadcast, or load screen music on Madden. It could be your favorite church hymn or the song your family sings while traveling in the car to visit family in Newark. It might be the ring tone that played every time she called -- until you broke up. Create a 7+ song soundtrack of your life, featuring the songs that served as background/inspiration/motivation/reflection/substance of your life from your earliest memories to now.
