Online A Exam Review

The Bahamas Project

I enjoyed this project because I like doing powerpoints. I had a very beautiful country and I thought it was cool to look at all the places to visit. I don't like having to present though. But besides that, I don't mind doing research projects because I always learn something new and interesting.

Stevie Wonder

 Stevie Wonder

Many people know Stevie Wonder just as a singer, but he is actually also a composer, instrumentalist, and humanitarian. He was born on May 13^th, 1950, in Saginaw, MI as “Steveland Hardaway Judkins.” He was born 2 months premature, so he was placed in an incubator for life support.  But because of too much oxygen in the incubator, he developed Retinopathy of Prematurity, (blindness). He grew up with five brothers and one sister, but one brother died later on. He was known as a child prodigy, because at age 11 he was known as Little Stevie Wonder and had a record deal with Motown for all of 1960. At age 13, he had his first number one hit, and is still the youngest person to ever top the charts. Even though he worked hard on his music, he still managed to graduate from Michigan School for the Blind. Although he had much success with Motown, at age 21 he   broke away from Motown and demanded full artistic control for creating and producing his own music. Even after doing that, he still produced many more successful albums that everyone considered “ground-breaking achievements”. In 1972, at the age of 22, he was the first African American to win a Grammy for the best album of the year.  This continued for 3 consecutive albums. But on August 6^th, 1973, something horrific happened. Stevie Wonder got into a car accident, which put him in a coma for 10 days. He eventually recovered, but many people were worried.  3 years later, he teamed up with Paul McCartney for another number one single, “Ebony and Ivory”. All of these number one hits have led him to win 24 Grammys, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement award in 1996. But his biggest achievement of all was when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame in 1989, and the youngest solo artist to do so. Later on in 2009, Wonder was awarded the Gershwin Prize for Popular Music by the US Library of Congress. This award was presenting to him at the White House by President Obama. He was also awarded the Kennedy Center Honor at a different time. Currently, Stevie Wonder is still well-known. He serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and he won the rights to publish copyrighted works into formats that make visually impaired people throughout the world able to read.
