Today in class we shared your HW from last night. I explained the power of words- specifically, how a mere 3 words can create feeling. Sometimes less is more. There is a power in sharing emotion and connecting your voice inside to an audience.
After, we took notes on poetic devices: foot and meter. In attempting to make you hear the pattern, I read you a classic from Dr. Seuss- Green Eggs and Ham.
After, we marked another classic- the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Some of you did not finish, and asked to complete it for HW.
Speaking of...tonight please bring in a song that follows a beat. Specifically, an song that has a foot and meter that repeats. You will be diagramming it, so please make sure that you have a copy that you can mark up.
