This is what the professor instructed me to do:
Go to: A Professional classical music concert An Art museumA Staged Production1. Either in person or virtually (on the list provided)2. Photograph the proof of attendance (programs, tickets, and selfish photo. In the case of virtual, do a selfie in front of your computer with the even on the screen)3. Take notes at the event4. Write a polished report about each event–combine all three reviews into one paper5. Embed the images/photos into your paper 6. Submit FINAL paper to Canvas (it is checked for plagiarism)7. Save your Canvas Submission Confirmation Receipt (Digital Receipt)
I will obviously take care of the photos and submission…
The instructor also includes: Procedure A. For each of the three sections:1) Collect Information/Ideas/photos2) Organize Ideas3) Create Outline4) Construct First Draft5) Edit6) Final Version B. Combine all three sections into one paper—no transitions needed between sections. C. Embed photos within the paper. D. Bold headings at the start of each section: Museum, Concert,Performance)
Three parts3 parts x 900 words=2700 words (minimum)Each of the 3 parts need to be a minimum 900 words per subject. Paper should be 1.5 spaced. • Museum (in person or virtual)• Classical concert (instrumental, vocal, ballet with live music, opera)• Staged Production (theater/dance/opera/musicals)900 words x 3 parts = a total of 2700 words

Common Mistakes• Forgetting the Deadline• Forgetting to embed the photos• Attaching the paper, but not clicking “Submit”• Attaching the wrong format—has to be a Word document (.doc)• Waiting until too late (after 11pm) and Canvas gets groggy• Not completing it (3 parts/2700 words)• “Borrowing” information, i.e. plagiarism• Not keeping your digital receipt (submission proof)
