Search of Self

Students will be working on Reader Response Letter - due September 1.

Our next assignment will be "SONG LYRICS"

Grade 9 Assignment
SONG LYRIC ASSIGNMENT
IN SEARCH OF SELF – “ALL THAT I AM”

“Nothing separates the generations more than music.  By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.”  Bill Cosby
Music has defined many moments in my life and I am quite certain that each of you can say the same thing.  Your assignment is to find a song that speaks to you and helps you define yourself and “ALL THAT YOU ARE”.  You must select a song, print out the lyrics, determine the rhyme scheme and analyze what the song is really saying.  You must include why you chose the song that you did and why it helps define you at this moment in time.  You will present the song and your presentation to the class. 
Your song must be “school appropriate”.  I will not accept an assignment with lyrics that are racist, sexual or degrading in any way.  If you are uncertain about your song choice, please consult me before starting your assignment.
