The document provides instructions for a task that involves brainstorming words related to music genres, styles, equipment, and trends. Students are asked to list these words and format three examples using different font styles, sizes, colors, and effects to represent the word's style or meaning. The document also gives examples of formatting words like "DOWNLOAD" in all caps or adjusting spacing and color.
