We will begin our Poetry unit this week.
Last week I asked you to find song lyrics you like. Remember, the topic must NOT be inappropriate for school! If it has a vulgar word or two, we can black it out. If I think the song is inappropriate (too much sex, bigotry, or violence) I will give you a song. Probably a Country song. A really boring one.
Today during small group, you will explain what your song is about. These questions are already on your QT4 Writing file, but here they are again in case something crazy happens (or you just want to do it one paper):
Is your song telling a story, teaching a lesson, or establishing a mood?
If it's a story, what happens? If it's not a story, does it remind you of any characters from a book, TV show, or movie who might feel that way?
What is the message?
What is your reaction to the message?
Why do you like the song?
Write at least fifteen sentences. You can just start putting your ideas down, or you can reply to each question separately.
Have fun!

p.s. No, you can't listen to the song unless you brought your OWN ear phones!
