=Music History Theme Park=


 * Welcome to the Music History Theme Park Project Wiki. Here you will be completing a collaborative project that will use the knowledge that you have learned throughout this semester.**

__Introduction__

To promote music to the world in an exciting atmosphere, you have been asked by the Executive Board of the National Association for Music Education to design a theme park based on the different periods in music and their composers.

__The Task__

In the format following Walt Disney and his design of the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, you will design the theme park with different themed areas based on the historical periods. The attractions in each area will be based on or named after the composers and their music of that time.

__The Process__

The class will be divided into six teams. Each team will be responsible for one era or area of the park. Below are the steps that you will follow to complete this project.

__**Step 1:**__ Review the information presented on the historical periods in music and various composers by visiting each of the links below. http://www.essentialsofmusic.com/eras/eras.html http://library.thinkquest.org/15413/history/music-history.htm http://www.musicandhistory.com/ http://www.geocities.com/papandrew/ http://www.ipl.org/div/mushist/

__** Step 2: **__ Look at the information presented on the food that was characteristic of each time period by visiting each of the links below. Using these links, determine what type of food will be served in your restaurants for each area. Medieval Food http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/medieval/food/index.htm Renaissance Food http://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/Renaissance/Town/Food/FoodTable.html Baroque Food http://www.erasofelegance.com/history/baroquelife.html Classical Food http://www.timescapes.org.uk/pages/results.asp?ts=7&tm=7 Romantic Food http://ezinearticles.com/?19th-Century-Food-And-Drink&id=793289 Modern Food http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/494071.html

__**Step 3:**__ Look at a map of the Magic Kingdom at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World through the links below. Using these maps, you will gain ideas of how you can layout your own park. http://www.themouseforless.com/tripplanning/images/resortmaps/DLmap.pdf **Walt Disney World** http://www.wdwinfo.com/maps/MK.htm

__**Step 4:**__ Once the above links have been studied and explored, there are two things that each group needs to do:

1. Write a proposal outlining the details of the park describing everything in it from the attractions to the restaurants and the food that they will serve. Don’t forget the shows and places to buy those souvenirs.


 * Each area is to contain: 3 attractions, 1 show, 1 food service location (sit down or counter service), and one shopping location (shop or cart)

2. Create a Map/Brochure that shows the park and includes the descriptions of everything using the information that you provided in your proposal.
 * The park is to be based on the model that Walt Disney developed Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World so that you can go from one section to the other in consecutive order, or pass to another section through a central hub area in the middle of the park.
 * It should show logical progression from one area to the other following the order of the historical periods.
 * The map should show evidence of thought and creativity in planning.
 * It should be created using colors to separate each area and it's contents.
 * It should contain a key that gives a brief description of each item based on the information provided in detail in the proposal.
