Students will split into groups of three or four. Each group will produce an review for an online periodical from the perspective of an Austrian, living in Vienna in 1808, during the premier of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Yes, this requires you to either pretend you're living back then, but you have the internet available to you, or you're bringing somebody from that period through a time warp and having them write the article for you. Each member is to contribute to a single web page on a wiki site.

You may include Youtube videos - They must all be from the same performance. You may include recordings - Once again, all from the same performance. Keep in mind that if you're including both audio and video, it's unnecessary to include the same clip from both video and audio segments. Limit yourself to how much you'll be including. If you cite, it must be kept in APA format, and a "Works Referenced" section must be included at the end.

Your group members will take upon different roles.


 * Editor** - Your job as editor will be to assemble the layout of the review, ensure that grammar is up to par. You will have to be in charge of other members of the group and make sure they do their job and are on time. You will also have the responsibility of creating a works-cited page. You will create the final web page. If your group has a **Web Technician**, then they will create it, and you will guide them through edits in grammar and structure. Their job will be more of the assembler and you will be the designer.


 * Historian** - Your job is to collaborate with the **Review Writer**, ensuring that all of the historical facts are correct and consistent. Make sure that you're using scholarly sources for your references and resources, and make sure that all citations are correct in the page. You must research and discuss historical accuracy with the **Review Writer**. You will work with the **Web Technician** if available or the **Editor** to create a historically-appropriate page.


 * Review Writer** - Your job is to write the review. You will work with the **Historian** to ensure accuracy of the history, but you don't need to focus on that. You'll need to engage the music and write a review on the music itself. This is purely opinion, and like many critics, you don't need to have proficient knowledge in music to explain it. You must have an ear for music and be able to state your opinion on what you like and don't like about a piece of music. You will submit your work to the **Editor**.

For groups of 4,
 * Web Technician** - Your job is sort of a jack-of-all-trades. For most of your time, you will just assist with the website construction, but in your down-time, you will help make sure the others can do their job and will help in research, reviewing, and editing, but not taking complete control. You're sort of the go-to person for assistance in any aspect of the page, but are not required to take complete control of the project. You make no decisions, only give your opinions and assistance for any technical issues that may arise. You'll have a lot of down-time in the beginning, since there can't be a website until the research is done and ready to be written.
