Friday 12/3

Today we spent time moving from notes to storyboards.  Students bounced ideas off one another about the message they were intending to send with their song then drew the song out verse by verse on a storyboard.  The second half of the block was devoted to writing the really rough draft of the song.  This draft does not have to rhyme, be a certain amount of lines or even employ a certain number of vocabulary words.  It is really the first articulation of the theme and can, therefore be very rough.  HW: Finish rough drafts of songs and READING LOGS will be collected on Monday--90 minutes reading for last week and one parent signature are what I expect to find in order to earn a perfect grade! (dates read including Dec 1 30 min worth, page #s,  a rating too!)
