Today’s Warm-up:
Music
Music is important part of our lives. It communictes in ways that words or pictures cannot, and therefore is an important experience to think about and describe. Answer the following in a single paragraph:
- What kind of music is your favorite? Who are your favorite artists?
- How does it sound? What maks it so interesting or likable for you? (is it the lyrics, the attitude, the isntruments, or something else?)
- How wouldyou describe the feelings that it creates for you, in you?
- How do you share the music you love? Does it help friendships? Does it make it hard to relate to other people?
- And lastly, why do you think music is such an important part of our lives? Why are people so passionate about it?
Then I handed out the outside the non-fiction reading list that focuses on Teen-Culture. I asked that by Monday you have 3 titles chosen that you can research online to see which ONE you are going to read over the remainder of the semester.
Finally we turned to a review of “Civil Peace” where we applied our literary terms to the story.
Don’t forget to turn in your vocabulary sentences and
Study for the vocabulary test tomorrow!
