Happy Chinese New Year
Enjoy Sabine and Rachel's noun song again
The Poetry of Music - Thinking Ahead
One of next week's H/W tasks is to choose a song that has powerful 'poetic lyrics' - you are expected to do this task with a parent. It is due for the Thur 26th. You will need to bring the printed lyrics to the song to school. Discuss with a parent what you belive the message behind the lyrics are. (You will be writing a paragraph explaining your choice of song and why in class next Thursday) You DO NOT have to do this over the Chinese New Year - but for some of you who are not traveling want to make a start on this. - Your parents are allowed to HELP you choose an appropriate song.
You are welcome to sing the song you choose in class if you have a musical talent (or even if you don't!)
Here's the video from today's class to enjoy again... What message can you take from this poem?
Poetry Recitation Week will begin Jan 23rd - (I forgot that next week is a short week). You will need to have a well respected poem memorized for that week). You will be graded on yor BEVES delivery.
