Notes:

1) Remember, this is a paper. Don't give me a list
2) I will try my best to put the mp3s of the music on our class website but I might
not have access to it at all. If that's the case, I will change the due date of this
assignment. Keep your eyes peeled.
3) Between the links provided by your classmates, you should be able to complete this assignment although I'd still see if I can get the mp3s up on the servers. First click on Kevin's link to get the theme of each animal, then watch the 3 you tube videos from Lauren's links for the entire piece.
