Brit Lit:

Yesterday (Wed.):  Journal Prompt:  Please convert the Ballad that you brought in into a story.  Use new language to tell the story- not the lyrics.                  1/2 Page

We started the Ballad of You assignment where to interviewed a member of class and then wrote a detailed ballad about their life and who they are.

We read Sir Partick Spens (set to a phat drum beat)
We read Get Up and Bar the Door (Blues version)

Today:

Journal Prompt:  Write from the point of view of an animal?  Your story can be about anything, just make sure that it is told from the perspective of an animal.   1/2 page

We finished the Ballad of You assignment.  Today we completed our interview, described the things they carry, and wrote a 25-30 line ballad.

We used the raven puppet and did the Twa Corbies. 

I played Bob Dylan, Johhny Cash and a random old guy performing Barbara Allan.
