A + B Block:

Today:

We defined Ballad.

We looked specifically at folk ballads.

We read Johnny Cash, Sir Patrick Spens, Get Up and Bar the Door, The Twa Corbies, and Barbara Allen.

I printed out 5 samples from the modern day ballads that you brought in for HW. We discussed if they were examples of a ballad.

HW: Please brainstorm about what you life would be like as a ballad told in the third person. We will be writing and performing the ballad of You in class Friday. I am looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
