Wonderquest: 2

The book that I chose is How They Became The Beatles: A Definitive History of the Early Years 1960-1964.  This book was written by Gareth L. Pawlowski.  There are 208 pages.  I chose this book because I want to read about one of the most successful bands of all time.  Reading this book will help me understand what it takes to be famous and all the work that comes with it.  With The Beatles being one of the biggest names in music history, I think that reading about their musical life will have a great impact on the conclusion I come to at the end of my project.  Right now I am on page 38 and so far the book has discussed how the band has come together and how the time has impacted their music.
Believe it or not, there is actually a great benefit to annotated bibliographies.  These bibliographies help to keep a student organized in their sources.  They also help save time while trying to choose what sources are most beneficial to the worker.  Annotated bibliographies are written so that one can know what the article is about before they decide to use it on whatever it is they are working on.

Wonderquest: 1

I wonder what it is like to be famous in the music industry. I chose this topic because when I grow up I want to be a singer. I think studying this topic would benefit me greatly to read about the struggles and victories of the greatest musicians in the industry.  
For my product I want to make my own CD. I will spend my time practicing and being dedicated to the music like people who have dedicated their life to music. When the CD is finished I think it will simulate what the hard work and success feels like. 
I am reading The History of the Beatles written by Billy Shears so that I can know how The Beatles reached their fame and fortune.
