WEDNESDAY: Alliteration Rap

1/28/2015

Logan's Lichtenstein Inspired Art

Today, students started working on their ABC Alliteration Raps! They started by watching Daniel Radcliffe (AKA HARRY POTTER) rapping to 'ALPHABET AEROBICS' by Blackalicious! From this, they generated their own criteria as to what will be expected of a quality piece of writing for their 'ABC RAP'.

1.) MATH 6: NO HW
MATH 7: Pg 58, Copy example 'ME-GAN'S' solution
7/6-2/3 Practice 3,4,5

2.) LA/ART: Your Roy Lichtenstein inspired Art must be completed by tomorrow morning (colouring only).

3.) POST A RESPONSE:

A tanka is similar to a hakiu poem. It is a 5 line poem of 31 total syllables.
Line 1: 5 Syllables
Line 2: 7 Syllables
Line 3: 5 Syllables
Line 4: 7 Syllables
Line 5: 7 Syllables
Click here to read some examples you can read through.
Find an image of something related to a natural landscape (IE Mountains, fall season, winter, etc) and write a tanka based on your image.
Provide a link to your image before your poem.
After each line, be sure to put the number of syllables in brackets.
Comment on at least one other student's poem in regards to the number of syllables in each of their lines.
Reply to any comments you receive.
Edit/revise.

She water ballooned him two times

And technically it is in nature since nature is by definition: a place with an abundance of plant and/or animal life which I see both of.

@ Fish Sticks - Thank you for showing your enthusiasm for your homework today! You always create quality work when you put the effort in!

Read the criteria again. You and Billy Bob are missing a key component of what was asked of you. :-)

@ Cloud - Great poem. Have you included your syllable count at the end of each line?

You need to have how many syllables you have.

1/28/2015 09:48:58 am

@Batman, great job! But one suggestion for you is in your second line you have only 6 syllables make sure to change that to 7 syllables. Same as the last line, it has 9 syllables, make sure to change it to 7 syllables too. Lastly, in your last line it didn't make sense when you said "we're people stay with there family", make sure to change that as well. Overall great job ;)

And so do the Yellow leaves.
But what about the tree?
Does the tree break off a branch?
Does it break maybe about three?

The forest is full of animals and trees.
The sky is filled with birds and leaves too.
Ocean's filled with fish, colorful rocks and the beautiful coral.
The wind is blowing and the flowers are blooming.
And the rivers are flowing in a fast paste.
