and the beat goes on...


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:


Shadow Lake—an hour from home
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.

Have a great weekend!  We will move on to skerry stories next week for Halloween! : )
