 * Please note that I have expanded my response prompts from the Technology Skills page to include reflections based on Wisconsin State Standards for Music I.8.1, I.12.2, F.12.4, and G.12.3. If I were writing an entire course, additional standards would be used to include most if not all of the standards for grade 12, and to fulfill the requirements for credit in Music Appreciation. **
