Help With Music

The Agogo

hey, im ina bit of trouble with music (only picked it up this year). my main problems is the melody writing:

MAJOR MELODY:
when you modulate in bars 7 and 8, do you end on so fi so in the tonic or in the dominant?

MINOR MELODY:
do you include a sequence....
do you modulate at all in bar 7 and 8?


all help is appreciated with many thanks....

Should be interrupted cadence. 7 = IV 8 = V
You should end on dominant.

Just for reference
Bar 7 = IV, Bar 8 = V
Bar 11 = IV, Bar 12 = V
Bar 15 = V, Bar 16 = I

If at all possible stay away from a minor question. Same can be said for a compound time question if you're still asking major questions the night before the exam

My advice is, if you see a minor key or compound time on question 1, have a look at question 3. If it doesn't ask you to do it in a specific form then go for it

If you must though...
Why wouldn't you include a sequence?
It'd probably be easiest to modulate to the major in bar 7 and 8
