1. The students will enter the classroom and will complete their journal entry for the day.

2. After reviewing the daily journal, each student will get a guitar and pick from the guitar storage room.

3. As a class, we will review the guitar chords C and G7 and perform the accompanying songs.

4. After we perform as a class, the students will divide into their previously assigned guitar groups (about three or four students per group).

5. When the students are seated in their groups, and in their practice area, each group will receive a Flip digital camera. Using their Flip, they will record each other playing the songs that were performed as a class.

6. After each student has performed and been recorded, the group will watch each other's recording and fill out the "Peer Evaluation" on each other and the "Self Evaluation" on themselves.

7. When all recordings have been completed and evaluated, each video will be placed on the class website's blog page for classroom evaluation.
*The comments will be approved by the teacher before it is allowed to become visible to the class.
