Create 3 New Posts on your blog Friday:
1: Ask a Teacher About Music...write about the answers to the questions about music you got from 2-3 teachers you spoke with. Include your own answers to each question, too, and write about how they compare to the teachers' and/or anything you found interesting or surprising. Include images.
2: Lyrics Shuffle: In another post, share something you came up with when we looked at the 6 songs with the lyrics all cut apart and scrambled. Include an image.
3: 4 Songs Freewrite: In another post, write a narrative poem of 10 or more lines inspired by the one or more of the 4 songs we listened to in class on Thursday (Three Libras by APC, You Shook Me by AC/DC, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, Golddigger by Kanye West). Include an image. Here's my example:
A summer
night—I am 16.
I shouldn’t
be here. I am not allowed.
He broke up
with me a month before
and hasn’t
called since.
She came with
me but
asks him to
dance.
He is working
so he says no
but laughs as
she nudges his arm.
He is too old
for me.
He has
outgrown me.
I am
vulnerable, stupid, young
and I feel
like my fourth grade
flat-chested
self.
I will go on
to break hearts too
but for now I
just want the pulsing music
to stop
making my head spin
and for him
to quit looking away from me,
through me,
across the sweaty dance floor
at other
girls, older, wiser than I.
